About this time every year we begin to hear and ask a common question, “Are you ready for Christmas?” For some, that question is answered with great anticipation about the coming of Jesus, the joy of spending time with family and friends, or the excitement of feasts, parties, gifts, and time off work. For others, that question is answered with sadness and grief. It is a reminder of how this year will be different, a reminder of the past year’s sorrows and losses.
John’s message interrupts the circumstances of our life. His message disrupts the patterns and habits of our life within our family, social circumstances, business transactions, and consumer activities. John’s message is always a message of hope and promise. The word of God comes in every time, place and circumstance, offering a new way, a new life, a new world.
Maybe we’ve been hurt or disappointed so many times that we’ve become indifferent or cynical. Maybe we’re so distracted or overcommitted that we’ve lost sight that “there is need of only one thing” . Maybe we feel stuck and paralysed to do anything different from what we are already doing. If I am really honest with myself, I can see and name the cracks in the veneer of my life. I know when my life is out of balance. I recognise the ways in which I resist others and struggle with certain relationships. I contradict myself. I often betray myself and my own integrity. I can see patterns and habits that are not helpful to me or others and yet I continue to do them. Sometimes I’m afraid and don’t want to face my life.
