In this sermon on the letter to Smyrna, Andrew characterizes the congregation as an underdog community enduring the suffocating pressure of persecution within a wealthy, empire-loyal city. Believers there faced poverty and slander for refusing to engage in civil worship, defined as the compromising alliance of religious faith with political and national identity. To counter this fear, the message presents a theology of hope based on Jesus' identity as the sovereign First and Last who has already conquered death, assuring followers that while their suffering—symbolized as "ten days"—is inevitable, it is also temporary. The text urges the church to remain faithful even to the point of death, promising that such non-violent resistance and undivided allegiance to the Lamb will not only secure an eternal victor's crown but also serve as a catalyst for the Kingdom of God in a hostile world.

In John 1:29 it says, the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! John the Baptist presents Jesus as the one who will die in our place to take away our sin. One man says in the Old Testament the question is 'Where is the lamb?'. Here he says it twice in John 1 and in all the Gospels that is the emphasis "Behold the Lamb of God!" In Revelation 5:12 those that know Him as Savior will sing "Worthy is the Lamb!” He speaks here of Jesus as that perfect, sinless, substitute who would die in our place as taking away the “sin” not sins of the world. I believe he is referring to the one unforgivable sin John 16:8 "And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 "of sin, because they do not believe in Me; have you believed On him and trusted in him, if not do it today. Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” -John 8:32 Our mission is to spread the gospel and to go to the least of these with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ; We reach out to those the World has forgotten. hisloveministries.podbean.com #HLMSocial hisloveministries.net https://www.instagram.com/hisloveministries1/?hl=en His Love Ministries on Itunes Don't go for all the gusto you can get, go for all the God (Jesus Christ) you can get.

John 1:19-34 NIVBig Idea: It's not about you, it's about Jesus. Use your life to point to Him.Backround: John the Baptist was a rock star! A prophet living in the Jordan River Valley who had a big following. People from all over would come to listen to his message of repentance and baptism. John had his own disciples, who would later become Jesus's disciples. Also, John the Baptist was a relative of Jesus.1. John knew who he wasn'tWith everyone trying to figure out who they are, John starts with who he is not. “Now this was John's testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the messiah”.How many times have we put ourselves in position to get credit instead of “Beholding the Lamb”?2. John knew who Jesus was-The Lamb of God-The sin-bearer-Greater than John-Pre-Existent-The Chosen One 3. John knew what Jesus Does“Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” John 1:29 John demonstrated how we “Behold the Lamb”- Know who you are not- Know who Jesus is- Know what Jesus has done

Pastor Matt launched a 10-week journey through the Gospel of John, part of a larger series covering John, Acts, and Romans - three books he considers essential for understanding the Christian life. He explained that John's Gospel is 93% unique material that supplements the other Gospels, with the purpose stated in John 20:31: "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." The sermon focused on John 1:1-34, beginning with the prologue that establishes Jesus as the eternal Word who "was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). Pastor Matt then examined John the Baptist's declaration of Jesus as "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29), connecting this title to Old Testament imagery of sacrificial lambs and the Day of Atonement. He explained how Jesus fulfills both the sacrificial goat (whose blood covers sin) and the scapegoat (who carries sin away), emphasizing that our greatest problem isn't our circumstances but our sin. Pastor Matt concluded by explaining that salvation is received as a gift through faith, not achieved through works, and called for honest self-reflection about one's relationship with Jesus.
In this message, Andrew introduces a sermon series on the book of Revelation, aiming to reframe it not as a confusing prediction chart for the end of the world, but as a book of hope and courage for faithful discipleship in the present. Andrew addresses the common fear and dread associated with the book, explaining that its main message is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, who is the slain yet victorious Lamb, and that the text is an "apocalyptic vision" that unveils the unseen, spiritual reality of the cosmic battle between the Lamb and the Dragon (Satan/Babylon). By emphasizing that things are "not as they seem," the message encourages the church, which is living under pressure in the "heart of Babylon," to find joy in the imminent return of Jesus and to live as "dissident disciples" who embody God's future heavenly city in the world today. This is Part 1 in the series
Brother Howard Gordon walked us through several verses in the Bible that mention the Lamb, revealing that this picture of the Lord Jesus presents not only His meekness but also His victory.

2nd Sunday in Ordinary time, Year A Gospel John 1:29-34 John the Baptist saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. He is the one of whom I said, 'A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.' I did not know him, but the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known to Israel." John testified further, saying, "I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him. I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God."

In this message, Pastor Josh continues the Come and See series by walking through John 1:6–32 and the powerful witness of John the Baptist.John wasn't the light—but he was sent to bear witness to the light. Through John's identity, purpose, and proclamation, we learn what it means to prepare the way for Jesus today.This message explores:Knowing who you are—and who you are notPreparing the way so others can encounter JesusWhy John declared, “Behold, the Lamb of God”How Jesus fulfills Passover, sacrifice, and atonementWhy Jesus takes away sin—not just sinsWhen we know our identity, embrace our purpose, and point to the Lamb, others are invited to see Jesus clearly.
A Message of Love John 1:29–42a | Behold, the Lamb of God At the heart of the Christian faith stands the love of God. Not a vague feeling or a selective affection, but a love that is concrete, costly, and given freely to all. When John points to Jesus and declares, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world,” he is naming the fulfillment of God's promise. The Light has come, not for a few, but for the whole world. This love reaches farther than we often imagine. It spans nations and generations, and it reaches into every human life. From the womb to the grave. From strength to weakness. From honor to shame. The world teaches us to measure worth differently. Success, productivity, independence, and usefulness become the standard. Those who fail to meet it are overlooked or discarded. The consequences of this way of thinking are tragic, leading to abortion, assisted suicide, neglect, and violence. Even Christians are tempted to absorb these values, quietly learning to rank lives rather than receive them as gifts. Jesus exposes this lie. He does not choose the impressive or the powerful. He calls fishermen who have failed, sinners who are broken, and people the world considers insignificant. He never asks whether a life is convenient or useful. His answer is always the same. This life is worth My own. That love is revealed most clearly at the cross, where the Lamb of God becomes the despised and rejected One, bearing the sin of the world and giving His life for all. And this love is not locked in the past. Christ still comes to His people today. In Baptism, He claims sinners as His own. In Absolution, He forgives every failure. In His Supper, He gives His true Body and Blood for the life of the world. Again and again, God declares the holiness and worth of every human life. Those who receive this love are called to see themselves and others through Christ's eyes. Every life is sacred. Every life is redeemed. For the Lamb of God has come for all and has given Himself for all. ----- Worship Times Sunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m. Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.org https://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Behold, the Lamb of God! - 30-Day Gospel Reading Challenge - Day 11 (John 1:29-42) by Shawn Ozbun
Mass Readings for Second Sunday of Ordinary Time - January 18, 2026 Reading 1, Isaiah 49:3, 5-6 Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10 Reading 2, Corinthians 1:1-3 Gospel, John 1:29-34
BEHOLD is a word we do not use a lot in our modern use of the English language. However, if we look closely at that word, we realize it has a specific and profound meaning for us. Every Mass we attend we hear it in reference to the Eucharist just confected by the priest. Maybe we should examine how we respond to that word, and ultimately, that reality.
A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto, January 18, 2026. Today's Gospel presents the account of Jesus' baptism seen through the lens of John the Evangelist. Its the Evangelist's take. The Baptist appears in the description. (John 1:29-34). But John the Evangelist here interprets the baptism not simply as an event, but as a revelation of identity and mission. Jesus' mission is to be the Lamb that will take away the sin of the world. We need humility to recognize our sins, and embrace God's forgiveness. Have I really done that?Thumbnail : Francisco de Zurbarán, The Lamb of God, 1635, Prado Museum in Madrid.Music: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Angelic, with license.

This is message 5 in Gospel Record of John John 1:29-34 Jesus is revealed as the Lamb of God sent by the Father to deal fully with the problem of sin. He came not merely to teach or lead, but to offer Himself as the sacrifice God had provided from the beginning. His worth and authority rest in who He is, the eternal Son of God marked by the Spirit and approved by heaven. Through Him, sin is not merely covered but taken away, and God's plan of redemption is made clear to the world.

Alive is our weekly Sunday preparation. In this episode, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reflects on the Gospel for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (John 1:29–34) and the powerful words we hear at every Mass: “Behold the Lamb of God.” Why does John the Baptist choose this title for Jesus? This reflection weaves together: • Bethlehem as the House of Bread • Jesus laid in a manger — a feeding trough • The shepherds who raised lambs for temple sacrifice • And the fulfillment of it all in the Eucharist From the unblemished lambs of the Temple, to the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, this Gospel reveals that Jesus is not a symbol — He is the reality. As priests lift up the Eucharist at Mass, they echo the words of John the Baptist and the faith of the Bethlehem shepherds, holding not a sacrifice that points forward, but the Lamb who fulfills every promise.
In "Behold the Lamb of God," Pastor Dave Gustavsen shows that true greatness is not about success or recognition but about pointing people to Jesus. Through the life of John the Baptist, we see what humility looks like — handling success well, drawing attention to Christ, and not grasping for the spotlight. John lived with a clear purpose: to point to Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. We are called to live the same way, letting Jesus become greater while we become less.
