Contrary to popular (secular) opinion, I believe the most important season of the Christian calendar is not Christmas, but Easter. While it is wonderful to enjoy the festivities surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, there is so much more richness and significance in the last days of His ministry, and the importance of His death and resurrection - yet much of this joy is overlooked.
Many Christians shiver at the horrible details of Christ's unjust arrest, His brutal beatings, the farcical trials, that humiliating trudge to Golgotha, and finally, His gruesome death. Subsequently, they hesitate to discuss these facts with their children, or even among themselves. Then comes the substitution of twinkly-nosed bunnies, fluffy chicks, curly-coated lambs, colorful eggs, and all kinds of foil-wrapped chocolates - seemingly benign "thieves" taking unlawful precedence over the real story.
Behold the Lamb is a fresh, enlightening, entertaining, even provocative study on the Season of the Lamb.
