he saw Jesus said: Behold the Lamb of God!
after the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which ends the Christmas season, we enter into this Sunday in Ordinary Time, which continues to focus our gaze sull'Epifania, ie on the detection of mystery of Jesus
Today is the Baptist's testimony to invite us to recognize him as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world because takes it upon himself.
What John is particularly contemplates the relationship between Jesus and the Spirit. He sees the Spirit descend and remain on Jesus, as well as other great witness of the fourth Gospel, the beloved disciple, standing at the foot of the cross will see the Spirit poured out on all of us by Jesus, as a sign of water and blood flowed from his open side.
The Baptist invites us to see the Lamb of God as the beloved disciple We invite you to look to "Him whom they have pierced."
Only at the foot of the cross will understand in what sense Jesus is the true sacrificial lamb that frees us from sin. Thanks to him, the salvation may reach the ends of the earth (I Read) and we, as Paul reminds the Corinthians (II reading) we are sanctified.
