are you playing gotcha with God
oh here we are folks in Advent we're getting in that last countdown of time
the single most important event that ever occurred in human history now
you're probably thinking it's time to go shopping if you haven't shopped already
you know we're we're we're running around and we're preparing everything
but what are we preparing ourselves for what's all this frenzy what's all this
hubbub it's all this buying and selling worrying about this decoration or that
recipe and what's it all about you know it's possible to spend a month or two
months of frantic preparation gift buying decorating and not really know
what you're doing who is it that we are entering into this time of preparation
for this season that we call Advent Latin a venir e to come one drawing near
to approach who and what is approaching the answer is simple
God is approaching God is coming to enter into our lives the life of
humanity and nothing nothing will ever be the same again
are we more concerned with this or are we concerned with what should I get for
it and Monica or that grandchild or where's
that old recipe that I need or how about the latest LED light display to really
light up the place you know those things in and of themselves are not bad
but they need to take their place they need to be a sideshow because the
primary focus must be on the Incarnation the coming of God in the flesh think of
it think of it if that really happened and continues to be a reality then
nothing absolutely nothing should be the same ever again
Jesus says be awake be alert well God is not absent God continues to be here but
he is going to make himself evident in this part of the church here called
Advent come follow me on this path to greet the god man come let us travel the
road to Bethlehem together and see what this is all about so that we may be
fully aware fully awake fully prepared to celebrate the greatest event in
history amen
