Sermon Third Sunday of Advent
December 15, 2024
As I was preparing for this message on this third Sunday of Advent, a week and a half before the celebration of the birth of our Savior, I read the story of the 64-year-old grandmother who, while looking for her lost cat, fell into a sink hole in her town in Pennsylvania. Rescue units eventually found her dead body in a long-ago abandoned mine some 30 feet underground.
That tragic story – and oh, yes, it is a terribly tragic story – that story is in some ways an illustration of what has happened to all of humanity. I’ll say it again – what has happened to ALL of humanity – you, me, our beloved families, our friends and our neighbors. Everyone.
What might this have to do with the third Sunday of Advent? You can read the rest of this message on my blog:
