Christ the Lamb Without Blemish or Spot

Under the law, their offerings must be without blemish. Therefore the LORD reproves the people for they brought that which was torn and the lame and the sick, saying, "Ye brought an offering, should I accept this of your hands saith the LORD?" (Malachi 1:8) It is as much as if He had said, "I the LORD delight not in, but abhor lame, blind, imperfect offerings. I must have one without blemish.”

But now seeing that all these unblemished lambs, etc., under the law could not take away sin, either a sacrifice without spot and blemish must be found, that is sufficient to take away sin or else sin must remain. Therefore, the LORD Christ stepped in and it is said, “Wherefore when He cometh into the world, He saith, Sacrifice and offerings thou wouldest not. Then said I, Lo I come to do Thy will O God.”Christ is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world, Who offered up Himself to God without spot, for He is that True Lamb without blemish and spot.Herein our Jesus was a Priest transcending the priests under the law, which had infirmity and the sacrifices under the law that were imperfect. For the LORD Jesus was pure and spotless, yea, perfectly pure in Whose mouth was found no guile, Who knew no sin: [Lev. 1:3-10; Mal. 1:7-10; John 1:29-36; Heb. 9:14; 1 Pet. 1:19; Heb. 7:28; 11:19; 1 Pet. 2:22; 2 Cor. 5:21].
