In Behold Your King!, Jesus comes to us in flesh and blood as a Man, as God’s own Son, and as the lowly Servant King bearing the sins of the world. Though He was forlorn and forsaken, He did not abandon His mission or shirk His obedience to the Father. He followed through - and in so doing He won for each of us the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life in His presence. Copies are available on the table below the screen in Room 10. Please pick up a copy!
