The Comic Strip AgnusDay.com for the John text. Kind of got me to thinking about Jesus' names... hmm... maybe that's a direction I should explore a little more deeply....
I like the cute comic strip. If you continue with the theme of names, remember how we are coming out of the Christmas season and how much attention was given to the names of Jesus--Emmanuel, and all of the names in the antiphons (dayspring etc) and how Jesus came to receive his name (the angel). Maybe continue that theme. Maybe that can also can reveal something about the nature of Jesus, human and divine. If you use the comic as an illustration in your sermon, maybe you could print it in the bulletin (paying attention to copyright laws, of course).
I like the name theme. Names in the OT were always meaningful and sometimes prophetic in nature.
