The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, “Look, here is the Lamb of God!” (John 1:35-36, NRSV)
In this passage from John for the second Sunday after the Epiphany, Jesus is recognized for who he is. Nowadays when someone says they have had an “epiphany” it means that they have a sudden realization of an important truth, or solution to a problem. That isn’t far from what an epiphany meant in this passage from John...

The Forest Grove Winter Shelter is in urgent need of volunteers in order to remain open and serve the homeless population in our area during this winter season. Delay in funding and limited response from Pacific students means the program will depend on community volunteers to keep the doors open. Email westwaco.wintershelter@gmail.comor call Celeste at 503-985-8815 for more information. Visit the shelter web page to sign up and see available shifts.
