The Second Sunday of Advent is a time of preparation for the birth of Jesus and His Second Coming. The message of John the Baptist (MT 3:1-12), tells us how to prepare for the coming of Jesus in this Season.
“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is close at hand,” and “Prepare a way for the Lord, make His paths straight,” (MT 3:3-4).
The word “repent” means “to change one’s mind.” Repentance is not a one-time thing in life? It is a continual repentance. Conversion is merely the beginning of a process of change.
In this season of Advent, we shall reset our clocks and relearn what it is like to be. It has to start with each of us – we cannot change the others’ minds and hearts but we can change ourselves first.
Let us start with our hearts and minds. Let us remove the sins that block the way of God and prepare the way for God as we embrace, care for and heal our fella brothers and sisters.
“In His day justice shall flourish, and peace till the moon fails.” (Psalm 71).
