December 9, 2018 The Second Sunday in Advent
Preparation
is probably on your mind. Christmas is only weeks away. There are presents to
buy, visits to plan, decorations to put up, lights to see, food to cook, and so
much more! As we prepare for Jesus to come, we reflect on John the Baptist’s
words to people who asked what they should do to prepare for the Messiah’s
coming. John says we are to “make His paths straight” by sharing food and
clothing, by not taking advantage of people, and by being content with what the
Lord has given us. In the midst of your busy preparations, consider these
words.
