John the Baptist showed us, by example, how to prepare for the coming of Christ by being a witness. This advent we are challenged to make our preparations for Christmas a true witness to the one who is coming. We are challenged to make our preparations witness to the one who shines the light of love and comfort to a world caught in the darkness of hate and indifference. We are challenged to make our preparations witness to the one who accepts and includes those society would rather cast out. Questions, comments or suggestions for this web ministry are most welcome.
Bible quotations are NRSV unless otherwise noted.
