Behold Your King, Day One: He Shall Crush the Serpent

This episode of Behold Your King traces the promise of a Savior from Eden to Nazareth, connecting Genesis 3:15 with Luke’s account of the angel Gabriel announcing Christ’s conception. As we enter the Advent season, the reading reflects on humanity’s need for rescue from the curse of sin and the hope God provided through the promised offspring who would crush the serpent’s head. contrasting Eve’s disobedience with Jesus’ perfect obedience and eternal kingship, the episode highlights how Christ restores the dominion humanity lost and fulfills God’s promise through the line of Judah. Listeners are invited to consider the nature of God’s promise, how Gabriel’s announcement affirms Christ’s coming rule, and the miraculous ways God overcomes the impossible. Written by the Ezra Institute, read by Dallas Block with scripture by Dan Niles, and produced by Rock Solid Refuge.
