This is the sixth week of our Extended Advent series, and the third week of a the 20th century Advent model. Let us continue to pray for our community as we work to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This week’s text jumps a bit from previous texts in this series. We started with Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians and Ephesians and then moved to Mark for two weeks. This week we jump to the Gospel of John with a text that seems to almost duplicate last week’s from Mark. In comparing the Markan description of John the Baptist with that of John, one thing we may notice is each authors’ focus. While Mark very clearly tells us about the baptizer, the Gospel of John continually points us away from the baptizer.
Scripture: John 1:6-8, 19-28
