First Reading: 1 John 2:22-28

Beloved: 22Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. 23Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.

24Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life.

26I write you these things about those who would deceive you. 27As for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, so that you do not need anyone to teach you. But his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false; just as it taught you, remain in him.

28And now, children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be put to shame by him at his coming.

Gospel Reading for January 2 2025: John 1:19-28

19This is the testimony of John. When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 he admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.”

21So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” 22So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us? What do you have to say for yourself?”

23He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”  24Some Pharisees were also sent.

25They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?” 26John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize,

27the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.” 28This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
