Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival." The focus of the entire season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Advent, and the anticipation of the return of Christ the King in his Second Advent. Thus, Advent is far more than simply marking a 2,000 year old event in history. It is celebrating a truth about God, the revelation of God in Christ whereby all of creation might be reconciled to God. Today Fr. Philip Sang explores what that means for us who live in the 21st century. Check it out and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Isaiah 2.1-5; Psalm 122; Romans 13.11-14; Matthew 24.36-44.
