In parallel, the Mind of Christ is the very same seven-fold process. This whole process, we said, is called our "mind." WeĪlso mentioned that there are seven stages or functions that form thisĬonceptual process called "mind." Each function (each stage) depends upon and Then creates the thoughts of our hearts, which in turn produces the actions of In our June 1996 Personal UPDATE, we showed that our "mind"īegins with the spirit that resides at the core of our being.

(John 1:29). In Old Testament times lambs served as sacrifices for sin, but these only foreshadowed Jesus, God's Lamb, who shed His blood as the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice for sin (Hebrews 9:11–12).

Horns are a scriptural metaphor for power, and the verse explains that the seven eyes are the seven spirits sent out into all the earth. The Lamb that appeared to have been slain had seven horns and seven eyes. In this verse John describes how he saw Jesus as a Lamb, standing between God's throne and the four living creatures (Revelation 4:6–7), and in the midst of the twenty-four elders (Revelation 4:4).
