Jacob Spori Art Gallery | Spori Building | BYU-Idaho

# Jacob Spori Art Gallery

Come explore world-class masterpieces from professional artists, BYU-Idaho students, and faculty.

Behold the Lamb of God

****Opening Reception:**** Thursday, November 6, 2025 | 7:00-9:00 p.m. 
****Exhibit: November 7-December 18, 2025**** 
 
The Jacob Spori Art Gallery at BYU-Idaho is pleased to present ****Behold the Lamb of God****, a sacred and spiritually uplifting exhibit that testifies of the life, ministry, and eternal mission of our Savior, Jesus Christ. 
 
This exhibit features a remarkable collection of art spanning centuries--from the timeless etchings of Rembrandt to works by contemporary Latter-day Saint artists, including an original depiction of the Savior by Sister Kristin M. Yee, Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency. The artworks have been graciously loaned by the Church History Museum, individual artists, and private collectors, each bearing witness to Christ's infinite love, mercy, and divinity. 
 
Art has long been a sacred way for the faithful to draw nearer to God. Through these inspired portrayals, **Behold the Lamb of God** invites reflection on Jesus Christ as our Creator, Redeemer, and Comforter--the One who bore our sins, sorrows, and infirmities. As we behold these works, we are reminded of His loving presence, the hope He brings, and the promise of His Second Coming, when the earth will be renewed in righteousness and glory. 
 
We warmly invite the community, friends, and families to visit the exhibit, meditate on the Savior's life and ministry, and experience the power of art to testify of His eternal love. The exhibit will remain on display through ****December 18, 2025****, during the sacred seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas--a perfect time to rejoice in the life and mission of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 
 
**"And the angel said unto me: Behold the Lamb of God, yea, even the Son of the Eternal Father! ... it is the love of God, which sheddeth itself abroad in the hearts of the children of men; wherefore, it is the most desirable above all things"** (1 Nephi 11:21-22).
