The King in His Beauty: Meditations on the Miracles of Christ

By Michael Babcock

In the fullness of time, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to sit on David’s throne as a conquering cosmic king. He demonstrated His kingly power and wisdom in a variety of ways, but none so spectacularly as by His many miracles. These miracles vanquished demonic forces, overcame nature, removed the curse’s sting, and crushed the serpent’s head through His resurrection from the dead. However, too often, these miracles are only appreciated as historical events or as a compilation of isolated stories. In The King in His Beauty, Michael Babcock helps readers understand the relevancy of those miracles as redemptive signs that reveal the King in all His salvific splendor. Each miracle is part of the grand message of new creation.
