The Saviour is presented before John under the symbols of the ''Lion of the tribe of Judali," and of a "Lamb as it had been slain."" These symbols represent the union of omnipotent power and selfsacrificing love. The Lion of Judah, so terrible to the rejecters of His grace, will be the Lamb of God to the obedient and faithful.
