Advent – time to contact Jesus We have somehow become accustomed to the fact that Jesus always infuriates us with something just when it is we are least waiting. It is no different today. Perhaps no man on this earth would, for all his worries, he didn’t notice what time it was at the door.\u00a0 This joyful anticipation is heard in Jesus: “I’m telling you, Elijah has already come, but they didn’t recognize him and did what they wanted with him.<\/h2>\n
The Son of man will also suffer from them \u201d(Mt 17:12). The scribes and them all, or rather almost all of Israel, did not know the One who came. Because they were waiting for the prophet who was to ask the Lord to correct James’s generation, he has reconciled the heart of the father with the son. Rather, they said he was confused and crazy and did so with him what they wanted. Just because they did not turn to His call, they do not recognize in Jesus a judge offering them forgiveness. They indifferently go through the revealed truth; even this one, they reject the truth. And what about us? Aren’t we kind of indifferent to John’s call these days?<\/h2>\n
Certainly not as visible as before the coming of Christ. Today, no one stands on the corners of our streets and does not tell us that the time has come to balance the way for the Lord. True, and we do not count the Jehovah’s Brothers. Today, it’s a bit up to us to get ready and did what was necessary. But today, we know more than people knew two thousand years ago. We know what awaits us if we are not blind and have witnesses to it. We don’t slap a little preparation for this day. Surely we can argue that it is still impossible to expect and watch that you need it to relax and save strength.<\/h2>\n
As St. Paul says. In his beautiful book “Filotea,” Franz of\u00a0 Sales says that according to Kassian, the hunter blamed St. To John the Evangelist, his amusement was tamed to which the saint asked him, “Why don’t you, the hunter, still have a bow tense”? He replied, “He lost on its flexibility \u2019. At that time, the saint rebuked him: if I hadn’t rested over time and covered with innocent fun. ” That is why St. Paul: “Rejoice in the Lord continually” (Phil. 4: 4)! But still, we know how important it is to be prepared exactly like a student who goes to school, like a doctor who watches over the lives of his patients even in a service that is often exhausting and demanding.<\/h2>\n
Beloved, let us not miss the time we have left until the Lord comes and knocks it out late. Let’s not forget that this Christmas may be our last and by this fact you are none of us can be sure. Sir, please give us not to miss a minute of the time you give us!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
