On this particularly Sunday I talked about how we need to get ready for Christmas Day. And I'm not talking about buying anything, or decorating anything, or cooking anything, or cleaning anything. I'm talking about getting ready for Christmas Day. John the Baptist comes to us on this Sunday and tells us that we need to get our hearts ready for the Incarnation of God. Emmanuel, God with us.
When you are not ready for something, you might miss it. Has someone ever tossed something to you and you aren't ready? No matter how coordinated you are or how good your reflexes are, you will look like a crazy person trying to dodge/catch/deflect the item. Readiness is key.
Like if you take a test and don't study, that is a stressful test. But if you do study, its stressful in a different way. The test doesn't scare you because you don't know anything, if you have studied you want to make sure that knowledge comes across.
So we need to get ready for Christ to come. So that when he comes, we are ready. John tells us that we need to confess and repent for this to happen, and I think that is true. We need to get ready for Christmas Day by confessing and forgiving because of the life changing day that is coming up. We need to take a look in the mirror and ask ourselves, Are we ready? If not, get ready, because it is happening all around you. don't miss it.
