THE GREENING OF THE GOSPEL
SERMONS FOR ADVENT, CHRISTMAS AND EPIPHANY SUNDAYS 1-8 IN ORDINARY TIME)
Since we have already considered the first fOurteen verses of this first chapter of John's Gospel, in a previous discourse, here we will concentrate on verses fifteen through eighteen beginning with the author's testimony concerning John the Baptizer. The wilderness preacher had declared:
Someone is coming after me who is greater by far than I am for he existed long before I did.
(L.B. v. 15)
This description of Jesus as the pre-existent presence is consistent with John's prologue thesis.
Someone is coming after me who is greater by far than I am for he existed long before I did.
(L.B. v. 15)
This description of Jesus as the pre-existent presence is consistent with John's prologue thesis.
