What is your sacrifice going to be, a goat or the Lamb?

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: - Exodus 12:5

In the Old Testament for the Passover, the Lord instructed the Israelites to sacrifice as a sacrificial offering, a one year old, male lamb without blemish. But if they did not manage to get a lamb they could sacrifice even a goat (kid) of one year old, male without blemish.

Exodus 12:3-5
3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

But during the Day of Judgment the lambs (sheep) are separated from the goats. Only those who offered the Lamb of God as their sacrifice and become sheep will Passover in to the Promise Land (Kingdom of God).

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

The Sheep are the ones who make the Lamb of God as their sacrifice and also follow the Good Shepherd, keeping His Word.

Revelation 7:9-14
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

What is your sacrifice going to be, goat or lamb?

Make the Lamb of God your sacrifice and save yourself from the eternal fire of hell which is prepared from Satan and his angles.
