Sermon: John the Baptist | John 19:34

Title: The Lamb of God: John 19:34, John the Baptist, and Ash Wednesday

Description:
As we reflect on Ash Wednesday, a day of repentance and remembrance of our mortality, we turn to the Gospel of John, where we see the fulfillment of John the Baptist’s proclamation: "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29).

In John 19:34, the Gospel recounts how a soldier pierced Jesus' side, and from it flowed blood and water—powerful symbols of our salvation. This moment ties directly to the purpose of Christ’s sacrifice: to cleanse us from sin and restore us to God.

Join us in this time of contemplation as we connect John the Baptist’s witness, the meaning of Ash Wednesday, and the significance of Christ’s suffering for our redemption.
