Advent reflections, Day 11
Reading: Mark 1: 1-3.
‘I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,”’
We live in an age of instantaneous news, nothing seems very surprising anymore and, gradually, old standards of trust and morality are being challenged in our lifetime. However, when Mark wrote his gospel between 66-70 AD, it may have been one of the earliest written gospels and was written for a people for whom the news came as a collection of parables and stories of miracles and controversies. People were hungry for good news and this narrative of passion and hope. Mark’s words will have exploded into their lives with the amazing news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2,000 years later, despite our modern cynicism and diminished trust, there remains just one constant in the lives of more than 2 billion Christian followers worldwide; Jesus came to save us and it is our duty and our joy to ‘make his paths straight’.
