The Lamb King - Sample Pages

Introduction How remarkable it is that the Holy God of this universe has spoken to us through His written word, the Bible. Within it, we learn of His profound love for us and of His endless reign over the entire universe. It is even more astounding that He tells us of His longing to have a personal relationship with each of us. Through the pages of this book, we will see how God sacri- ficed Himself, to the point of death, to secure intimate rela- tionship with humankind. The concept for this book came from my desire to share these truths in a simple way with those who are seeking God. If we aren’t familiar with the “back story” of God’s great love for us, and how it was ulti- mately realized through His sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, then it is difficult to understand the scope of His love and our need for Him as our personal Savior and King. As you read through these pages, I encourage you to look for the thread of God’s Kingship that is knit within the story. Look also for the thread of sacrificial blood woven through- out, and how the blood shedding, culminates with Jesus. One of the great mysteries of the Bible is how God is mani- fested as Father, Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. You will be introduced to all three aspects of God in the pages to follow. While this book is written simply, there are enough scripture references provided for you to spend hours studying these truths on your own if you choose. If you desire to go deeper still, there is an abundance of God’s love to discover as you continue to study the Bible. The pictures within this book are of God’s marvelous handi- work. As a photographer, I love to capture images of His bril- liant creation. Praise Him for the amazing natural splendor in our world! iv
