John 1:29 -NIV:
The next day John (the Baptist) saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
Bible Commentary: "Every morning, a lamb was sacrificed in the Temple for the sins of the people. Isaiah 53:7 prophesied that the Messiah, God's Servant, would be led to slaughter like a lamb. To pay the penalty for sin, a life had to be given--and God chose to provide the sacrifice himself. The sins of the world were removed when Jesus died as the perfect sacrifice. This is the way our sins are forgiven. The 'world's sin' means everyone's sin, the sin of each individual. Jesus paid the price of your sin by his death. You can receive forgiveness by confessing your sin to him and asking for his forgiveness."
