Advent 2C Luke 3:1-14
What do you think of when the word “wilderness” is mentioned? For the Jew of Jesus’ day, the wilderness wanderings would have immediately come to mind. The prophets used the events of the wilderness to tell God’s people…
that the wilderness is where God’s work of restoration would begin. So when John appeared I the wilderness with the message of repentance and baptism, they had an idea that God was up to something. Advent is our reminder that God has begun something new in Jesus and that his kingdom has broken into this world.
