Lamb

 Today we begin worship with:

Revelation 17:14
They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”

A ewe (female sheep) with young can be aggressive and protect its young with nasty head butting.  The ram (male sheep) is so naturally aggressive that they must be grazed in odd numbers to prevent them from aggressively pairing up in a never ending battle.  

But a lamb has no such aggression.

What a picture of our savior!  That He would go to the cross without aggression.  Leave us with one command, that to aggressively love.  But who will ultimately conquer in judgement as King of Kings.
