Have you ever stopped to consider how many sacrifices were made under the Old Testament?  One is almost shocked at just the lambs that were sacrificed.  Consider the following entry about “lamb sacrifices” from Easton’s Bible Dictionary:

Lamb: Heb. kebes, a male lamb from the first to the third year. Offered daily at the morning and the evening sacrifice (Ex 29:38-42), on the Sabbath day (Num 28:9), at the feast of the New Moon (28:11), of Trumpets (29:2), of Tabernacles (13-40), of Pentecost (Lev 23:18-20), and of the Passover (Ex 12:5), and on many other occasions (1 Chron 29:21; 2 Chron 29:21; Lev 9:3; 14:10-25).

Now God has provided THE lamb (Jn. 1:29, 36) to take away the world’s sins.
