This Is Our God: The Sacrificial Lamb

In part 1 of this book, Brian Johnston invites us to rediscover a potentially overlooked but profound offering in Old Testament worship—the daily sacrifice of two lambs, one in the morning and one in the evening. Known as the continual or perpetual burnt offering, it formed the foundation of Israel’s worship, symbolizing an unbroken presence before God. But was it merely ancient routine—or a divine foreshadowing? Tracing the third and ninth hour offerings through Scripture, Jewish tradition, and New Testament fulfillment, this compelling study unveils how this daily sacrifice pointed to Jesus Christ, the true Lamb of God. From the temple courts to Calvary’s cross, and from dawn to dusk, our eyes are lifted to the Lamb who was ever in the Father’s gaze—and challenges us to do the same. Part 2 goes on to explore some of the key attributes of our sovereign God.
