A Word in Season: "Behold!"

Up at my column over at Patheos today... a look at one of my favorite words from the Bible...

Behold makes me perk up and pay attention. Simply defined, behold means to see, to gaze upon, to observe, to have vision.

Whenever I find it in the New Testament, I always watch what happens next.Behold is like the sound of the drum roll you hear when the theater curtain pulls back revealing center stage. Behold is my cue to tune in, to get ready, and see what unfolds.

The rest is here.
