BEHOLD The King: Behold, His Grace!

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Luke 1:26-55 (Luke 1:26-38 & 46-53; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; 1 Samuel 13:14)

 

There is so much to behold or see in the Christmas story!

One aspect that you can't overlook is the grace of God. When Mary was told that she would be the mother of Jesus, she was told that she had found favor with God. This is another way of saying that she would experience the grace of God.

We can learn a lot from what happened next because she then praises God for His amazing grace!

 

Series description:

Have you ever got excited about something, so you tell your friends, "Check this out!" The Bible often does something similar to this with the word, "Behold." It means to see or perceive something. It is another way of saying, "Don't miss this!" When Jesus' birth was being announced in Matthew 1:23, it starts with the word, "Behold." Let's BEHOLD what Jesus wants us to see in the amazing story of the coming of King Jesus!
