He’s got His own song! Who knew? He’s the Son of God and the Son of Man. He’s the King of Kings and the Suffering Servant. He’s the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God. He is the Creator … Continue reading

Behold the Lamb

I’m chewing on the phrase this morning not because I particularly like dwelling on judgment, but because I’m reminded that our God is a full-dimensional God. That to pick and choose what attributes of God we want to be the … Continue reading
