When he saw Jesus among the multitude gathered at Bethabara to hear him preach, John the Baptist proclaimed: "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (John 1:29.) Besides identifying Jesus as the Divine Redeemer, the Baptist's stirring words pose a nearly irresistible challenge: not only to learn of Christ, but also to know him intimately, as a personal friend and loving Savior. Behold the Lamb of God is a collection of many previously unpublished articles and sermons by J. Reuben Clark, Jr. President Clark, an avid student of the gospel and a counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1933 to 1961, probes the ministry and teachings of Jesus Christ. He shares insights into the Lord's character and personality and urges Latter-day Saints to develop a close, personal relationship with Him. A variety of other interesting studies—on the Nativity, the plan of salvation, astronomy, the personality of God, ancient Palestine, the Creation, miracles, the priesthood, the Council in Heaven, the Atonement, the Resurrection, the Second Coming, and others—help complete President Clark's remarkable portrait of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some of the material compiled herein was prepared by President Clark during his distinguished career in national government. An eminent statesman and legal scholar, he balanced his professional career with dedicated service in the Church. Behold the Lamb of God is rich with wisdom and testimony. It is an invitation for Latter-day Saints to study the life of Christ, to adopt his timeless principles of righteous living, and, in so doing, to truly "behold the Lamb of God."
