Today's Gospel.
John is speaking to
the crowds at a place called Bethabara which means
the "house at the crossing". The crossing was the crossing of the
river Jordan. It was located at 1000 feet below sea level and for most of the
year it was baked by the sun at 100 degrees. It would
not have been an attractive place for the casual follower so those who came out
from Jerusalem would have been committed followers. When John saw Jesus coming
towards him he declared there is the lamb of God.
Those listening to John knew why he used those words, because every Passover
256,000 lambs were slaughtered to take away the sins of the Jewish people.
