On this second Sunday of Advent, we hear a hopeful message from another of God’s prophets, Ezekiel. His message comes at a difficult time in Israel’s history. Their land had been invaded, the temple ransacked, and many taken off to live in exile in Babylonia. But Ezekiel has a vision that signals a new day. He is led to a valley littered with dry bones, a symbol of Israel’s exile. God calls on Ezekiel to prophesy to the bones, and miraculously the bones come alive. In the very same way, God promises to put the Spirit in the people of Israel and bring them back to their own soil. Sometimes we may feel our lives have become dry as dust, but Ezekiel’s words invite us to a vision of hope and new life. In a world that is often caustic and contentious, a word of hope is desperately needed. That word comes to us through God’s prophets, and it comes in the flesh. Those who hear these words and trust in Jesus the Word are children of God, the community faith. By this faith we are called to be instruments of hope in the world.Steve Sylvester - December 7, 2025
