Three stories that sum up Christmas; it is God’s love made visible for us, it is meant to reunite us with God, and one another, but regretfully we still crucify him, yet he is still God with us.

Our call is to do God’s will, like the our father says I will be done on earth, as it is in heaven, but don’t let anyone pretend this is not difficult. It is very difficult Joseph and Mary found it difficult but because of their following God’s will great things happened. King Ahaz in the first reading, finds it difficult and because of his not doing it great suffering, an evil came upon his people. God gives us free will, and it’s hard to use that to do his will, but he knows that and he wants to help let us ask for that help, if even to do it a little bit better in one area of our life.

John, the Baptist is calling the people of his day to make a new exodus. Today God calls us to renew our commitment to God. Listen to a testimony of one who found Christ and it changed their life, this is not a one time event, Christ continually enters our life more deeply to change us more and more.

The world with all its distractions has a way of sweeping us along so that we don’t stop and pay attention to what’s important. Just as in the days of Noah, when the people were too busy to listen to Noah’s invitation to get on the ark, today Jesus is the one Noah prefigured, inviting us into the church, which the ark prefigured. Advent is the time when we clean our house, that is get rid of the clutter in our lives, and focus on what is really important, our salvation, and sharing in Jesus’s mission.

Today’s feast gives us an image of how to view our lives in the world. Christ is the King, the King of all, we are born into a kingdom of darkness where powers beyond us seek to enslave us and keep us in suffering, ignorance and death. The king of light comes into our world to give us the Way, the Truth and the Life to the kingdom of light.
