Second Sunday of Advent
John the Baptist calls out again in Advent 2024, "Repent! Turn away from your sins!" He isn’t calling us to beat our breast and say what a miserable sinner we have been over and over again. Rather he is calling us to change our ways, to do things a new way: a new way that allows Christ to enter more deeply into our hearts, a new way that follows God's ways more closely, a new way that forgets about greed and self-centredness and puts other people and their needs first.
Advent is just four weeks of the year, but John’s call is a daily challenge.
The Messiah who comes to us at Advent will not go away. Even though we pack away our Christmas trees and gifts, He will always be there. Our sin is with us all year round. Our need to be confronted with our sinfulness and to repent is an all year round matter. And all year Jesus Christ will remain a constant, forgiving, restoring presence in our lives. What remains for us is to remember who we are: We are the forgiven ones. Let's forgive! We are loved by God in Christ. Let's love!
