John 1:15-34:
When John the Baptist turns up in the wilderness of Judea, baptising in the River Jordan, he creates quite a stir. The Pharisees demand to know who he is, but he denies being the Messiah, Elijah, or the Prophet. He is, however, the voice of one preparing the way for Yahweh himself – a role he undertakes with deep humility, always pointing away from himself to Christ. When he sees Jesus, he ascribes him the title: The Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. What does this title mean, and why is he said to taketh away not the “sins” but the “sin” of the world?
