Having spent a little more time with these texts, as of this moment, I'm leaning towards focusing on the revelatory/epiphany aspects of the Gospel text. That is to say that I'm considering the text as continuing the revelation of who Jesus is (The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.). I will be connecting this idea, that the revelation is for the world, with the Isaiah text that the Servant (and as Christians, we view the Servant through a Christo-centric lens), is sent to bring light and salvation to the world. Some of the images I'm thinking of using are images from my travels (people from my trip with the LSS to Tanzania; Juarez, Mexico; England; Rome, etc); images of light, and perhaps images of Epiphany (as I connect the texts with the idea of Christ's continuing revelation). This images would illustrate how Christ has been revealed in the past, and how Christ continues to be revealed to us today, for all people. And when we come to understand who Jesus is... our response is to follow (that is to say, we, like the disciples in the last few verses of the John text, follow him).
Tomorrow: I'll be spending a little more time with the commentaries.
