If we want the world to see God’s love it has to be through Christians (His people), when they overtly act in love to their neighbors, with God’s help. John Paul 2 reaction after he was shot, was still ringing powerfully in the mind of the aggressor 30 years later, because John Paul’s act of forgiveness, was a revelation of the love of God to that man. Hear that story today!
John the Baptist may seem to be an odd character to be the one pointing to Jesus as ‘The Light’.
He came to tell people to pay attention and recognise who Jesus was, tell the story of the coming Messiah and to worn them to be ready!
Our mission is also John’s mission – in preparing for Christmas – ‘What would John do?’
Jesus took the demons on – his actions were counter cultural.
He was not looking for fame. When Jesus confronted demons, he spoke the truth, showed compassion, spent time in prayer and enabled the service of others.
Who deserves our allegiance, and what if it is sought by conflicting interests?
God’s love is not reserved for a once a year religious event be it Christmas or Easter, a few privileged people or confined to a time or place.
God’s love is revealed in Christ’s humanity, for the sake of all our humanity.
