Lambs were a common sight in Bible lands. They were inoffensive, vulnerable and generally obedient to the shepherds who cared for them. Lambs provided food for the people, and were offered as sacrifices on the altar.

"This is what you are to offer on the altar regularly each day: two lambs a year old…." (Exodus 29:38).
The offering of animal sacrifices as part of the worship of God ended with the coming of Jesus Christ, who himself became "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29).

The Book of Revelation records the apostle John seeing a vision of the future in which the slain lamb represents the risen Christ who is to rule the world: "Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels…they sang: 'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!'" (Revelation 5:11-12).
