For the first three Sundays of Advent, we have heard the hope-filled words of the prophets of Israel. Today we hear the promise of another word, but this word brings hope in the flesh. This word will be the light of all people and will illumine the darkness. This word “lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory of the father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” Today we are invited to hope embodied in the one born in a manger, crucified on a cross, and raised from death. All that we may have hope everlasting.
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.
