  • "The ‘Lamb of God’ prayer is not just about me – we don't say, "Lamb of God have mercy on me" – it is "have mercy on us"': Bishop Paul Smith

Bishop urges: ‘Pray the “Lamb of God” prayer throughout Synod’

3 October 2018


Sermon

LCA Queensland District Bishop Paul Smith
Worship, Wednesday 3 October 2018

Text: Exodus 12:13
‘The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you.’ 

Title: Merciful Lamb of God, grant us your peace


EXTRACT

I became ever more deeply thankful for the selection of Exodus 12 for our Wednesday morning devotion at this Synod. This pivotal text from the Exodus story of the Passover focuses faith for our journey through these coming days – on the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

This Scripture invites us to pray the ‘Lamb of God’ prayer, not just on Sunday but especially throughout Synod, to pray it every day – and throughout the day; to pray, remembering that this ‘Lamb of God’ prayer is not just about me – we don’t say, Lamb of God have mercy on ME – it is ‘have mercy on US’. This is a prayer that we pray for the church and the world – for each sister and brother beside you and around you:

Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, have mercy on us
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, have mercy on us
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, grant us your peace.

And the peace of God which passes all understanding keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus our Lord.
