DESCRIPTION:Holy Communion for the Second Sunday after Epiphany: celebrant
  the Revd Tola Badejo. Junior Church takes place at the same time in the h
 all.\n\nFirst reading: Isaiah 49: 1-7\nGospel: John 1: 29–42\n\n'I will 
 give you as a light to the nations\, that my salvation may reach to the en
 d of the earth.'  This quotation from Isaiah is the second we have heard t
 his Epiphany that points forward to the words of Simeon at the Presentatio
 n\, emphasising that no-one is excluded from the grace of God and the rede
 mption offered by Jesus.\n\nThe language of Isaiah is as majestic as its t
 heme\, the Light of Christ illuminating the whole world. Yet the Gospel sh
 ows the intimate way in which the story begins: John points out Jesus to t
 wo disciples (his disciples\, not Jesus's\, at this point)\; one of them f
 etches his brother\, and the brothers go to see Jesus. The whole of Jesus'
 s ministry begins\, quite simply\, with one person talking to another.\n\n
 The painting by Salvator Rosa depicts John pointing Jesus out to Andrew. R
 osa's interest was in the wild\, romantic landscape of the setting\, but t
 he picture nevertheless conveys a sense of excitement and transformative p
 otential.
