Opening the treasures of the Messiah, Episode 7: This is Personal

Part 2 of the Messiah leads with a significant plot twist - the shepherd who carried the lambs is now a Lamb. John the Baptist's words, "Behold the Lamb of God" set the tone for a more profoundly human and personal insight to the Messiah. This is a man familiar with suffering; the Saviour who takes the weight of sin and sorrow upon himself. This is one not to miss.

John 1:29, Isaiah 53:3-5, Isaiah 50:6
