What does it mean for Jesus to be the 'Lamb of God'?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus being the 'Lamb of God' signifies His role as the sacrificial offering for the sins of humanity.

The title 'Lamb of God' attributed to Jesus signifies His mission as the ultimate sacrifice for sin, as foreshadowed in the Old Testament sacrificial system. In Mark 1:29, this phrase conveys that Christ is the fulfillment of God's promise to provide a means of atonement for His people. Just as the Passover lamb was sacrificed for the deliverance of Israel, Jesus' sacrificial death on Calvary is the final and perfect sacrifice, removing the penalty of sin for those who believe in Him. Accordingly, Christians find their hope and redemption in acknowledging Jesus as the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, affirming the depth of God’s grace and justice.
