“Look! There he is—God’s Lamb! He will take away the sins of the world!” (John 1:29)

I’d heard all about Jesus. In fact, I was fervent in my faith. I’d been a good Catholic - even got to be an Altar boy, and even though I was outwardly practising, inwardly I was thoroughly hooked on the pleasures of sin.

Yes, the path I had chosen looked good externally but wasn’t anything more than a dead end, and following it made sure I’d never get to ever ‘see’ Jesus. Religion, cynicism and Jack Daniels had successfully clouded him from my eyes.

Then GOD in his mercy started to reveal Jesus to me – within his Children!

My eyes were opened by His Grace. And I finally 'saw' Jesus - GOD's Lamb that took away all the sins I'd ever committed in this world!
