+Jesus is taking away the sin of the world. This is important for everyone. It means that we can have a new
+beginning. Today can be a time of a new beginning. Tomorrow can be a time of a new beginning. He has taken
+away what can destroy us. He is taking away what brings death and destruction. The sin of the world is
+taken into this death at Calvary. There is so much future in this, when the lamb of God takes away the sin
+of the world. It takes away my sin, but also your sin and the sin of everyone else - all who believe in him.
+Let us take the lamb of God into all our past. Let us forgive, and be forgiven.
+Let us take the lamb of God into our presence. We want him here and now, in this very minute,
+to fill us with his mercy, with his thankfulness, his clarity, his peace and his vibrant life.
+Let us take the lamb of God into our future. Let him be the defining power of what we are, let him be
+the father, Lord and guide in each and every part of our life. In his freedom, we will experience
+unbelievable wonders, each and every day.
