3rd Sunday of Advent

John 1:6-8, 19-28




*Friends, today’s Gospel presents John the Baptist as the messenger
preparing the way for Jesus. John speaks: "I am ‘the voice of one crying
out in the desert, make straight the way of the Lord.’" He is saying that
his job is to prepare for the mighty coming of the Lord. He is to build the
highway that will facilitate his arrival. A change is coming, a revolution
is on the way, a disaster (the destruction of the old) is about to happen.
Prepare the way of the Lord.And what is the manner of preparation? It is a
baptism of repentance. Baptism—an immersion in water—reminded first-century
Jews of the exodus, passing through the Red Sea, leaving the ways of
slavery behind. God would humble the powers of their time as he once
humbled Egypt and Babylon.And repentance? It simply means going beyond the
mind that you have. How our minds are conditioned by the fallen world! How
our expectations are shaped, stunted by what has gone before. It’s time,
John is saying, for a new mind, a new set of eyes, a new kind of
expectation. *
