EPIPHANY 2Jesus, Lamb of God

John the Baptist said:After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me. I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.

John the Baptist said:He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.

Andrew found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah.” He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, …

… "You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter).

God speaks to Isaiah:

I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.

From Psalm 40:

He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my stepssecure.

From Psalm 40:

I have not hidden your saving help within my heart, I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.

1 Corinthians 1:8-9

He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
