BEHOLD The Lamb of God

The Word BEHOLD is not a word we here today in the times we live in. I honestly cant ever remember when i heard it said last except during the reading Scripture. John 1 : 29 The next day he saw Jesus coming to him & said "BEHOLD the Lamb of God who Takes away the sin of the World" Then again in John 1: 35-36 Again the next day John was standing with 2 of his disciples and he looked at Jesus as he walked and said " Behold the Lamb of God !"

The word BEHOLD has a simple meaning yet is very Profound. The webster dictionary defines it as : to have in sight ; to see clearly; to look at ; to regard with the eyes. What else i found in looking into the definition of behold is that the example the Webster dictionary gives of the word in a sentence is actually John 1:29 which is pretty cool if i do say so myself. After thing on it i now see the importance of a simple word we dont even use today. I can imagine in myself there on the bank of the Jordan River with John the Baptist speaking with such amazement saying " Behold ", look there he is , the man who is here to save us all, God in flesh, hear to cleanse us all of every wrong doing & sin. It is hard for me to understand why there wouldn't be thousands upon 100's of thousands of people following him. I mean there he was in flesh, face to face amongst his people. Yet many doubted him. Now here we are today and we still seem to be like many of the people who met him face to face. It seems like we can except god in our lives but when it comes to Jesus many stay a distance. It is a deep down guilt feeling of the truth of what Jesus Did for us that i feel people dont want to except so they would rather just stay clear of the fact. So we keep Jesus on the Shelf like the book that we keep but just never really open up to dive into, but we still have the book its just dusty and out of sight.

With that being said i am working everyday to take some time to look to Jesus More and MORE. Beholding his Glory and what he did for me all so many years ago. Making My ability to reach eternity in heaven even possible. I truly believe i should look to him even more and spend my time in pray with him every time i can.... Paraphrasing John the Baptist , Look there he is , here to save me, BEHOLD the SAVIOR!!!!! JESUS CHRIST
