And I looked, and, lo,
a Lamb stood on the mount Sion.
Revelation 14:1
"The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, "I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!"
This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the heavenly state is "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world."
Nothing else attracted the apostle's attention so much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by His blood.
He is the theme of the songs of all glorified spirits and holy angels. Christian, here is joy for thee;
thou hast looked,
and thou hast seen the Lamb."
Charles Spurgeon
