him personally some seventy years earlier

But John the Baptist despite his not knowing Jesus in person is in no doubt as to his identity Filled with conviction he knows that Jesus is the one in whom the hopes of Israel and all humankind will be fulfilled lsquoBlessed are those who have not seen and yet believersquo (John 2029)

MAKING CONNECTIONSbull How do you witness to the Chosen

One of God

bull Twice John says that he did not know Jesus himself but that Jesus was revealed to him by God What was it that first revealed Jesus to you

bull What sin of the world is in need of redemption today

bull Have you ever been an eye witness to something significant either in your family or in the wider community How did you bear witness to this event What effect did it have on you

DID YOU KNOWbull The title of lsquoLamb of Godrsquo would

have suggested the Passover feast to those listening to John At that time sacrificial lambs were slaughtered in the temple recalling the blood of the lambs that was shed so that Israel could be spared death and freed from slavery in Egypt Read the story of this deliverance in Exodus 12

bull Ordinary Time does not mean a time that is commonplace or unremarkable The name derives from the word ordinal which means lsquocounted and sequentialrsquo

EXPLORING THE WORDThis week we depart from the normal cycle of readings from Matthew for this text in John There is no explicit account of the baptism of Jesus in John Rather the emphasis is on John the Baptist as a witness to the real identity of Jesus the Lamb of God and the Chosen One of God Twice John says lsquoI did not know him myself but it was to reveal him that I camersquo Such a statement would have had a significant effect on the evangelistrsquos community This is the last of the gospels written at around the end of the first century It is unlikely that many followers of Jesus in this community would have known

him personally some seventy years earlier

But John the Baptist despite his not knowing Jesus in person is in no doubt as to his identity Filled with conviction he knows that Jesus is the one in whom the hopes of Israel and all humankind will be fulfilled lsquoBlessed are those who have not seen and yet believersquo (John 2029)

MAKING CONNECTIONSbull How do you witness to the Chosen

One of God

bull Twice John says that he did not know Jesus himself but that Jesus was revealed to him by God What was it that first revealed Jesus to you

bull What sin of the world is in need of redemption today

bull Have you ever been an eye witness to something significant either in your family or in the wider community How did you bear witness to this event What effect did it have on you

him to Israel that I came baptising with waterrsquo John also declared lsquoI saw the Spirit coming down on him from heaven like a dove and resting on him I did not know him myself but he who sent me to baptise with water had said to me ldquoThe man on whom you see the Spirit come down and rest is the one who is going to baptise with the Holy Spiritrdquo Yes I have seen and I am the witness that he is the Chosen One of Godrsquo

DID YOU KNOWbull The title of lsquoLamb of Godrsquo would

have suggested the Passover feast to those listening to John At that time sacrificial lambs were slaughtered in the temple recalling the blood of the lambs that was shed so that Israel could be spared death and freed from slavery in Egypt Read the story of this deliverance in Exodus 12

bull Now that the Christmas cycle is completed the church enters what is known as lsquoOrdinary Timersquo for a period (This will be interrupted for the LentndashEasterndashPentecost cycle)

bull Ordinary Time does not mean a time that is commonplace or unremarkable The name derives from the word ordinal which means lsquocounted and sequentialrsquo

EXPLORING THE WORDThis week we depart from the normal cycle of readings from Matthew for this text in John There is no explicit account of the baptism of Jesus in John Rather the emphasis is on John the Baptist as a witness to the real identity of Jesus the Lamb of God and the Chosen One of God Twice John says lsquoI did not know him myself but it was to reveal him that I camersquo Such a statement would have had a significant effect on the evangelistrsquos community This is the last of the gospels written at around the end of the first century It is unlikely that many followers of Jesus in this community would have known
