“If Mary is the mother of Jesus and Jesus is the Lamb of God…” (joke)
The Gospel of John calls Jesus the “Lamb of God.” This is not connected to the nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” but there are jokes.

This one is actually true, from my Grade 4 & 5 Sunday School class. I asked the kids what it meant that Jesus was the Lamb of God. They thought, and they thought….nothing.
Finally, one little girl raised her hand enthusiastically. “Oh!” she said. “I’ve got it! Jesus was the child of Mary, right? And Mary had a little lamb!”
Cracked me up. I couldn’t keep a straight face through that one!

Jesus was the lamb of God. Mary gave birth to Jesus. Mary had a little lamb. #GoingToHell

If Mary had baby Jesus, and Jesus is the lamb of God…. Then Mary really did have a little lamb

Something to ponder this Easter.
If Mary was the mother of Jesus, and Jesus is the Lamb of God, does that mean that Mary had a little lamb?
Happy Easter.
