Scripture does not reveal Christ through isolated images, but through a unified unveiling. The Lamb, the Lion, and the Blood are not separate doctrines, devotional themes, or symbolic metaphors. They are a single revelation expressed through different movements of the same divine life.
From the beginning, Scripture prepares the reader to see salvation not as humanity reaching God, but as God giving Himself. The lamb reveals the nature of that gift. The blood reveals how life is given. The lion reveals the authority that emerges from that self-giving love.
Read separately, each image can be misunderstood. Together, they interpret one another.
The Lamb shows that God saves through surrender, not force. The Blood shows that salvation is life shared, not violence demanded. The Lion shows that true dominion is exercised through faithfulness unto death, not domination over others.
This series traces that single revelation across Scripture, from shadow to substance, until all three converge unmistakably in Jesus Christ.
These articles are not arranged chronologically, but theologically. Each one deepens the last and prepares the next. The reader is invited not merely to learn concepts, but to see Scripture as the apostles saw it: one coherent testimony to Christ.
