Question
Third Week of Advent
December 15, 2024
Gospel: Luke 3:10-18
John’s clear and unequivocal answers to “What should we do?” gave direction to people’s lives.
John’s good news, however, went beyond merely telling the people how to behave toward each other,
but also instilled expectation in them.
His good news pointed to the One who is all Good News,
“a mighty savior” who is in our midst, who is near.
The Good News is not a message but a person - Jesus.
