Fr. Bryan Kassa - "Do I Believe Jesus is My Forerunner?" 5th Sunday of Epiphany 2026 by Chaldean Diocese

“And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither.” — Revelation 11:12 Without considering these words in their prophetical connection, let us regard them D as the invitation of our great Forerunner to His sanctified people. In due time there shall be heard “a great voice from heaven” to every […]

John the Baptist was Christ's forerunner, and he had a dramatic effect on the people of Jerusalem and Judah.

Today Fr. Philip reflects on the feast of Theophany and the message of St. John the Forerunner. You can find his blog with this reflection and more in written form at https://easternchristianinsights.blogspot.com

'About the beginning of our Lord's thirtieth year, John the Forerunner, who was some six months older than our Saviour according to the flesh, and had lived in the wilderness since his childhood, received a command from God and came into the parts of the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance unto the remission of sins. Then our Saviour also came from Galilee to the Jordan, and sought and received baptism though He was the Master and John was but a servant. Whereupon, there came to pass those marvellous deeds, great and beyond nature: the Heavens were opened, the Spirit descended in the form of a dove upon Him that was being baptized, and the voice was heard from the Heavens bearing witness that this was the beloved Son of God, now baptized as a man (Matt. 3:13 17; Mark 1:9 11; Luke 3:1 22). From these events the Divinity of the Lord Jesus Chist and the great mystery of the Trinity were demonstrated. It is also from this that the present feast is called "Theophany," that is, the divine manifestation, God's appearance among men. On this venerable day the sacred mystery of Christian baptism was inaugurated; henceforth also began the saving preaching of the Kingdom of Heaven.' (Great Horologion)

Your miracle is a forerunner to others being introduced to Jesus.

There is no greater miracle than the miracle of the new birth–where in a split second a person is delivered from the grip of Satan and made a completely new child of God. This is all possible because of God's gift, the greatest gift, the gift of His only Son. This Son was announced by a humble forerunner who gladly stepped aside and rejoiced as Jesus' following increased.

Zechariah can finally speak again and what does he do? He proclaims God's faithfulness. True worship transforms our entire lives into a powerful signpost pointing others toward Jesus. Listen now and be inspired to live as a forerunner who reflects redemption in every moment.

"His name is John." With this written declaration, Zechariah's silence ends and his speech is restored. In part 6 of a special 12-part series connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment, we witness the birth of the Forerunner. Filled with the Holy Spirit, Zechariah prophesies the Benedictus, proclaiming that God has visited and redeemed His people. He declares that this child will go before the Lord to prepare His ways and give knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of sins.  The Rev. David Boisclair, senior pastor at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Overland, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Luke 1:57–80.  To learn more about Our Redeemer, visit ourredeemerstl.org. This Advent series begins by covering the last Old Testament prophet, Malachi, and then spends twelve episodes alternating between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment, tracing God's promises from Isaiah to the birth of Christ. The series explores Emmanuel's promise, the Davidic King, John the Baptist as forerunner, and reaches its climax with the Nativity. The final episodes examine the Suffering Servant, the shadow of the cross in Christ's infancy, Isaiah's Messianic mission statement, and John's declaration that "the Word became flesh."  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

He was the brother of the Apostle Peter, from Bethsaida on the shore of Lake Gennesaret. Andrew left his fisherman's trade to become a disciple of St John the Baptist. Soon after the Forerunner had baptized Jesus, he said to Andrew and his other disciple John the Theologian, "Behold the Lamb of God!" At this, both disciples followed after Jesus. After conversing with Christ, Andrew hurried home and told his brother Simon Peter, "We have found the Messiah." For being the first to recognize Jesus as the Christ, St Andrew is called the First-Called.   After Pentecost, Andrew was appointed to preach the Gospel around the Black Sea and in Thrace and Macedonia, traveling as far as Lazica in the Caucasus. According to Slavic tradition his travels took him even further, into the land that was later to be called Russia.   In later travels the Apostle preached throughout Asia Minor with St John the Theologian, then traveled to Mesopotamia, then back to Sinope on the Black Sea, and finally to Patras in the Peloponnese, where he soon established a large community of Christians. One of his converts was Maximilla, the wife of Aegeates, the Proconsul of that region. Aegeates was so angered by his wife's conversion that he had the Apostle arrested and crucified head downwards on a cross in the shape of an "X." The holy Apostle rejoiced to be allowed to suffer the same death as his Master.   The holy relics of St Andrew, after various travels, were returned to Patras in 1964, where they are now venerated.   In the West, St Andrew is venerated as the patron of Scotland: in the Middle Ages, more than eight hundred churches in Scotland were dedicated to him.

This week we consider the announcement of the Forerunner to Zechariah in Luke 1:13-25, understanding Gabriel's promise in the light of Judges 13; 1 Kings/3 Kingdoms 17-18; 2 Kings/4 Kingdoms 2:81-15; Malachi 4:5-6/LXX 3:22-23. This first glimmering of the good news, recalling the greats of the Old Testament, prepares for all that God plan to do in the ministry of Jesus.

In a surprising twist for the fitness tech world, Strava has filed a lawsuit against Garmin, accusing the GPS titan of infringing on key patents and violating a long-standing partnership agreement. At the heart of the dispute? Two core features: segments and heatmaps — staples of Strava's platform that let users compete on route sections and visualize popular training paths. Strava is now seeking a permanent injunction to block Garmin from selling fitness devices that use these contested features, including popular models like the Forerunner, Fenix, and Edge seriesIf you have just started your cycling journey, you can get your Beginner Cyclist Toolkit Here.It's packed full of information and advice to get you started safely on your journey.

The Forerunner of the New Exodus - Mark 1:1-8 - Pastor John Weigle

Mark 1:1-8

Our Forerunner #RTTBROS #Nightlight Christ Our ForerunnerThe Harbor PilotIn the ancient harbor of Alexandria, when great ships approached the treacherous waters near the port, small pilot vessels called prodromos would sail out ahead of them. These swift little ships knew every hidden reef, every shifting sandbar, every safe channel through the dangerous shallows. They would guide the larger vessels safely home, having run before them to show the way.How beautifully this pictures our Lord Jesus Christ, who has gone before us as our prodromos, our forerunner.The Advance GuardThe Roman legions had an elite unit called the prodromoi, advance scouts who rode ahead of the main army. They cleared obstacles, secured safe passage, and prepared camps for those who would follow. These brave soldiers faced the unknown dangers first, ensuring a safe path for their comrades.Christ Jesus is our divine prodromos our heavenly advance guard who has gone before us into glory.The Promise in Scripture"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." Hebrews 6:19-20 (KJV)The word "forerunner" here is the Greek prodromos, the same word used for those harbor pilots and military scouts. Jesus has entered the heavenly sanctuary not for Himself alone, but "for us" - as our representative and pathfinder.As Night FallsAs darkness settles around us tonight, we can rest in this blessed truth: wherever we are going, Jesus has already been there. Every trial we may face tomorrow, He has already conquered. Every fear that troubles our heart, He has already overcome.Like those pilot ships that safely guided vessels through Alexandria's harbor, our Lord Jesus guides us through the treacherous waters of this life toward our eternal home.Like those Roman scouts who prepared the way for their army, Christ has prepared a place for us in His Father's house, securing our eternal dwelling."In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."-John 14:2-3 (KJV) PrayerLord Jesus, our faithful forerunner, as this day ends and darkness falls, I thank You that You have gone before me into every tomorrow. You have prepared the way, cleared the path, and secured my eternal destination. Let me rest tonight in the confidence that my anchor holds within the veil, where You have entered as my representative. Guide me as surely as those ancient pilots guided ships to safe harbor. In Your precious name, Amen."We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."https://linktr.ee/rttbros
