The Lion & the Lamb...

For you...and for me.

Happy Easter!

Isaiah 53:7He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth; He was led like a lamb to theslaughter, and as a sheep beforeher shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

John 3:16For God so loved the worldthat He gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in Him shallnot perish but have eternal life.

Hosea 11:10They will follow the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His childrenwill come trembling from the west.
