Kay is on the ground, and Lancelot taketh his horse and setteth Messire Ywain li Aoutres thereupon, that was right sore wounded so as that he scarce might bear it. Kay the Seneschal maketh his knight remount, and holdeth his sword grasped in his fist as though he had been stark wood.

It is only because He is the 'Lamb that was slain' that He is either the 'Lamb in the midst of the Throne, or the Shepherd of the flock. And we must make acquaintance with Him first in the character of 'the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world, before we can either follow in His footsteps as our Guide, or be compassed by His protection as our Shepherd.
