The Lamb of God Revealed: John’s Testimony to Christ John 1:29–34 presents John the Baptist’s powerful testimony about Jesus. When he sees Jesus approaching, John declares Him to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. John explains that his baptism with water was meant to prepare for the One greater than himself, whose mission is divine. He testifies that he did not know Jesus fully until he saw the Spirit descend and remain upon Him, a sign given by God. This confirms that Jesus is the Son of God, the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. The passage emphasizes Jesus’ identity as the sacrificial Lamb, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the giver of the Spirit. It highlights John’s humility, his role as a witness, and the divine revelation that points to Jesus as the Savior of humanity. The reading is taken from the Gospel of John 1:29–34 according to today's Gospel of 03 January 2026 in the Liturgical Calendar of the Catholic Church (Roman).
