Gospel Note:
These two passages are John's prose interpolations into the
poetic Logos hymn and are apparently intended to make it
abundantly clear that the Baptist was not the Light, nor even
Elijah reincarnate, whose appearance was supposed to precede the
messianic arrival, but rather a witness to the Light. In this
posture, the Baptist becomes a kind of model for pre-advent
activity in any age.
Liturgical Color:
Blue or purple
Suggested Hymns:
Hark, The Glad Sound
The Only Son From Heaven
