The Lamb of God Who Takes Away the Sin of the World

When John calls Jesus God’s “lamb,” what Old Testament accounts does he have in mind? How does the Hebrew equivalent of “take away” shed light on what Jesus does? How is long-fingered John the model preacher? What is the Isaiah background of the Spirit “remaining” on Jesus? What is Andrew’s place in the Gospel story? These and other questions, Chad Bird addresses in this week’s Reading the Gospels through Hebrew Eyes as he explores John 1:29-42.

Why does this non Catholic Channel always comment on the gospel reading for the Catholic Mass of the upcoming Sunday? Good work by the way…

Lutherans, among others, also follow the common lectionary. Some differences at times, but mostly the same.
