READ THE SERMON

2nd WEEK OF ADVENT – DECEMBER 5, 2021

Rev. Denise Clark-Jones

“PREPARATION OF PEACE”

Today we celebrate the second Sunday in Advent. The scripture passages this morning from Malachi and Luke both have an emphasis on repentance. In Malachi, the Lord is likened to a refiner’s fire, purifying and transforming the people of Israel to prepare them for an encounter God. The epistle reading from  Philippians begins in thanksgiving. The Apostle Paul gives thanks in remembering, even as he looks toward the future that God is creating in God’s people: “The one who began a good work in you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ.” Luke’s gospel portrays John the Baptist preaching repentance in the wilderness and calling people to “prepare the way of the Lord!”
