I've never really thought about how radical it was (and is!) for John the Baptist to talk about Jesus taking away "the sin of the world". The average 1st century Jew probably wasn't thinking about forgiveness being available to the whole world. The concept probably challenges a lot of us who live in the 21st century, as well. It's absolutely astounding! God himself has made forgiveness of sin available to every single human being through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. That is astounding and marvelous! May the ends of the earth come to know the Lamb of God who can take away their sin!
