Sermon: Epiphany 2.2011

Text: John 1.29-42
Date: 2011.1.16
Behold, the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin of the world!


In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Today we revisit John's preaching. Or rather, it revisits us. And from it we learn that John's preaching of “repentance of sin” was not a complete message. It couldn't be. Something was missing. As when someone begins to tell you something of great importance, of great interest to you, and then stops abruptly in the middle of the conversation and you're left waiting for more.
