In John 1, Jesus is beginning to call and gather His disciples. He’s going about it all backward in comparison to the “regular” rabbis of the day. Normally students or disciples seek out a teacher or rabbi to follow but we see Jesus seeking the disciples and inviting them to follow – and they, in turn, are telling their brothers and friends also to come and see. He’s calling them out of darkness and into His light, which they do not yet realize, but soon they will clearly see. The Old Testament reading is another of Isaiah’s servant songs, which speaks of the One who was coming and how He would be known – and the imagery is full and rich with meaning!
