Sermon Introduction –

During the season of Advent, we are preparing ourselves to hear about the birth of Jesus. Who is this child? What kind of messiah will Jesus be?

Introduction to This Week’s Readings:

John calls people to repent, to clear the decks, to completely reorder their lives so that nothing gets in the way of the Lord’s coming. The reading from Isaiah gives the context for this radical call: the assurance of forgiveness that encourages us to repent; the promise that the coming one will be gentle with the little ones. Isaiah calls us all to be heralds with John, to lift up our voices fearlessly and say, “See, your God is coming!” We say it to one another in worship, in order to say it with our lives in a world in need of justice and peace.
