"Behold the Man!" John 14:5',

Back to The Pastor's Morning Visit

---

Jesus is presented before you crowned with thorns, scourged, with His face marred more than any man's. His blood is flowing, His heart is breaking, and He is a Man of sorrows. Behold Him, then, for in this man, under these circumstances, dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. In Him, the love of God centred and shone forth.

He is your Substitute, Surety, and Redeemer. He is the holy, harmless, and undefiled Lamb of God. Behold Him, for He here discloses the depth of His love; and teaches you patience, meekness, and resignation under insult, suffering, and disgrace. Oh, behold Jesus—and be ashamed of complaining, of repining, or indulging any revengeful feelings. 

Behold, and imitate! 

Behold, and love! 

Behold, and adore!
