Behold, the Lamb of God

This Good Friday for the noon service, I will be preaching "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29). I chose the text because it opens part 2 of Handel's Messiah, which will be presented that evening. Parts 2 and 3 will be presented, which depict the sufferings of Christ, his resurrection, and the power of the resurrection for us. Here is a link to the text for Messiah. I encourage you to read it in preparation for both the noon service and evening concert.
