Year B - Advent 3 or Needed Change 3
December 14, 2014
There is indeed a person sent from G*D. Their name is your name. You are here as a witness to testify to what it takes today to prepare for a better tomorrow. This light of tomorrow revealing emptiness in today is a gift for your eyes. While there is always a danger of confusing our own wants with this light, it helps clarify matters to remember we are not the light.
This light we have been speaking of is always a half-step ahead and asks us to make that half-step.
This passage drops out a whole section about Jesus being some true light already arrived and settled among us. All we are asked for in this section is allegiance rather than mutual exploration. This does get confusing and we are too quick to claim this as personal knowledge rather than communal growth beyond current privileges such as knowing Jesus as my “personal” Lord and Savior.
Our testimony is to be humble enough to not equate ourselves with salvation and powerful enough to cry out in the face of harm and mercilessness.
One among us stands yet unknown. Insert your name here again.
Now an Advent choice:
Will you reveal or claim
your “sent from G*D” name
or
your “unknown one among us” name?
