《圣经》中有几段经文都提到了足以代赎的羔羊。

在《创世记》第二十二章，神为了考验亚伯拉罕的信心，吩咐他舍弃独生子以撒。当以撒说：“火和柴都有了，但献燔祭的羊羔在哪里呢？”亚伯拉罕回答说：“我儿，神必自己预备作燔祭的羊羔。”神果然提供了一只小公羊代替了以撒。

在《出埃及记》第十二章中，用逾越节羔羊的血涂在以色列人房屋的门框上，就足以代赎，使以色列人免于埃及人失丧长子之灾。

在《以赛亚书》第五十二至五十三章中，神忠实、受苦的仆人甘愿舍己，“像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地”，这足以为从“多国”中赎出属神的百姓所犯的罪付上代价。祂担当了“我们众人的罪”。

所有这些经文都指向耶稣，在《约翰福音》第一章29节中我们读到，耶稣，神的羔羊，祂的牺牲足以除去世人的罪孽。

神的羔羊有足够的大能拯救全世界。耶稣，神的独生子死了，用祂的血买赎了“各族、各方、各民、各国”的人。（参启 5:9）

Several texts in the Bible speak of a lamb that was sufficient to be a substitute.

In Genesis 22, God tests the faith of Abraham by calling him to give up his only son, Isaac. And when Isaac said, "The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And God provided a young ram as a substitute for Isaac.

In Exodus 12, the Passover lamb, with its blood painted on the doorframes of Israelite houses, was a sufficient substitute for sparing Israel from the plague of death on the firstborn sons in Egypt.

In Isaiah 52-53, the willing sacrifice of God's faithful, suffering servant, "led like a lamb to the slaughter," would be sufficient to pay for the sins of God's people from "many nations." He would bear "the iniquity of us all."

All of these texts point forward to Jesus, and in John 1:29 we read that Jesus, the Lamb of God, is sufficient to take away the sin of the world.

The Lamb of God is sufficiently powerful to save the whole world. Jesus, God's one and only Son, died to purchase with his blood "persons from every tribe and language and people and nation" (Revelation 5:9).
