My teacher ask me that, why did Jesus call himself the lamb of god

That the Paschal Lamb prefigured symbolically Christ, "the Lamb of God ", who redeemed the world by the shedding of His blood, and particularly the Eucharistic banquet, or new Passover, has always remained the constant belief of Christian tradition.

Rolcam,
Very good answers.
It all goes back to the sacrificial lamb of the first Passover in Egypt.

The bible states, "We have been sancitified though the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all." It is His physical death in obedience
to the will of the Father that sanctifies us. Jesus' humanity, which knew no sin, tasted the horror of the sin of all humanity. He was offered as a sacrificial lamb before God to pay the price for all our sins.

They won't let me agree with you with comments of this post.
So I must do so here.

Jesus himself, never said he was the lamb of God. John the Baptist referred to him as such in John 1:29 & 36.
