Behold the Man

After the long cold days of winter, we look forward with joy to the coming of spring. We see springtime as a time of renewal and new life–and so it is.

We also come in these days to the time of Lent and Easter. This, even more than springtime is a time of renewal. It is a time to remember and to rejoice in the love of God for the whole world, as He gives His Son to save us from the sin and death of this world.

We are glad you have stopped on this site. We hope that it will help you see what we are all about, and the hope and joy that fills us in Christ. We invite you to join us in worship, and especially to come and see what your Saviour has done for you.

“Behold the man!” proclaimed Pontius Pilate in one of the shortest yet most profound sermons ever recorded. This will be our endeavour this Lententide and Easter Sunday. Behold the man, God in human flesh, Jesus. His incarnation will provide the basis for our meditation and proclamation on His Passion. And His real bodily suffering and death will provide the basis for our full-throated proclamation on Easter morning of a bodily resurrection, not just of Jesus but also for His saints.

We will fix our eyes and our preaching on the man Jesus, contemplating the inescapable fact—indeed the most important fact in the course of human history—that God became man. The Second Person of the eternal triune God, whom we confess in the Nicene Creed as “God of God, Light of light, very God of very God…of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made,” became a living, breathing, flesh-and-blood human being, a man.
