In this passage, the Evangelist further describes the testimony of John the Baptist on the role of Jesus. He calls him the Lamb of God to highlight the new role of Jesus. Just like the lamb of the Exodus, Jesus would bring freedom to mankind from the bondage of sin.John further explains that Jesus is not just a man like him but is one who existed before him even though he came after him.God himself has revealed the identity of Jesus. He affirms that Jesus is the Son God.
By believing in Jesus, we come to experience the freedom that Jesus offers us.There is no one among us who is without sin. All of us are imperfect.What gives us peace is the fact Jesus will forgive our sins and give us the freedom from the bondage of sin.He offers us the opportunity to to experience this freedom.So with joy and peace, we can lead our lives.Our imperfections and sins do not matter. What is important is our desire to abandon our sins and to love him deeply.
