Weekly Reflection

The Lamb of God

01-18-2026  |  We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 49, No. 1

The word witness applies to John the Baptist in two ways in today's Gospel. When baptizing Jesus, John witnesses the Holy Spirit descending like a dove upon the Lord. Now John gives witness, pointing out the approaching Jesus as the Lamb of God. John is a model disciple, seeing Jesus as sent by God and then testifying to it to others. Isaiah does the same thing in a different sense in the first reading.

He hears the voice of the Lord speaking of the one who will gather the Chosen People and reach out to all nations, then proclaims this to the world. Years after encountering the Lord on the road to Damascus, Paul writes to the church of God in Corinth. Identifying himself as an apostle of Jesus and extending God's grace and peace upon them. Isaiah, Paul, and John the Baptist were each blessed with a life-changing experience in which Jesus was made known to them. We cannot expect to be so lucky.

Nevertheless, we have encountered Jesus many times, from our baptism to today's celebration of the Eucharist. It is now our turn to give witness, following in the footsteps of those who saw him centuries ago.

How will you give witness to Jesus Christ this week?

El Cordero de Dios

La palabra testigo se aplica a Juan el Bautista de dos maneras en el Evangelio de hoy. Al bautizar a Jesús, Juan presencia la venida del Espíritu Santo en forma de paloma sobre el Senor. Luego, Juan da testimonio, señalando a Jesús que se acerca como el Cordero de Dios. Juan es un discípulo ejemplar, que reconoce a Jesus como enviado por Dios y da testimonio de ello a los demas. Isaías hace lo mismo, en un sentido diferente, en la primera lectura.

Escucha la voz del Señor que habla de aquel que reunira al Pueblo Elegido y extendera su mensaje a todas las naciones, y luego lo proclama al mundo. Anos despues de su encuentro con el Señor en el camino a Damasco, Pablo escribe a la iglesia de Dios en Corinto, identificandose como apóstol de Jesús y deseandoles la gracia y la paz de Dios. Isaías, Pablo y Juan el Bautista fueron bendecidos con una experiencia transformadora en la que Jesus se les revelo. No podemos esperar tener la misma suerte.

Sin embargo, nosotros tambien nos hemos encontrado con Jesus muchas veces, desde nuestro bautismo hasta la celebracion de la Eucaristía de hoy. Ahora nos toca a nosotros dar testimonio, siguiendo los pasos de quienes lo vieron hace siglos.

¿Como darás testimonio de Jesucristo esta semana?
