If someone were to ask me, “What one word in the Bible is particularly special to you?” I would have to say, “Behold!”
I took special note of that word on the Monday of what was lining up to be a crazy busy week. Reading that week’s Christian Science Bible Lesson, I noticed the word behold appeared many times. I couldn’t miss it. I couldn’t ignore it, either. It caught my attention to the point that I was impelled to stop and consider its meaning in relation to the tasks at hand.
According to a dictionary definition, behold means to fix the eyes upon, to see with attention, to observe with care, to attend, or to fix the mind on a task.
