December, 24, 2023

Louie Giglio magnifies the significance of the word “behold” in the Bible. He is “Be” (Exodus 3:13-15), and as we look at the miracle of Mary holding Jesus in her arms, we acknowledge the miracle of us being held in His.

Key Takeaway

Do not fear because the God who came to be with us now holds us and leads us with His righteous right hand.

"Know that God Almighty is promising to uphold you."
