Why is Christ depicted as the Lamb in Revelation?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is depicted as the Lamb in Revelation to highlight His sacrificial role in redeeming His people from sin.

In Revelation, Christ is portrayed as the Lamb to underscore His sacrificial atonement for sin, which is foundational to the Christian faith. This imagery connects back to the Old Testament sacrificial system, where lambs were offered as a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice made by Christ on the cross. It signifies not only His humility and willingness to bear the sins of His people but also His power and authority as the reigning King who conquers evil. Thus, the Lamb symbolizes both sacrifice and triumph, reflecting the core of the Gospel and presenting Christ as the central figure in God’s redemptive plan (Revelation 14:14).
