To behold is to look intently at something—to see it and process it instead of giving it a cursory glance. This year as we consider the cross, may its beauty and significance hold our attention in such a way that our lives are transformed to look more like Christ.

The following five-day Bible reading plan is an invitation to lift our eyes,
fix our gaze, and behold the cross in preparation for our time together through Scripture reading, careful thought, and heartfelt prayer.
