3rd Sunday of Advent - C (December 12, 2021)

John Preached Good News to People

Luke 3: 10-18

 

John the Baptist called people to prepare the way for the Lord.  They asked him, “What should we do?”

 

John’s instruction seems to call for basic decency.  Those who have share with those who have less.  And people are to act according to what they are supposed to be. 

 

John did not tell tax collectors and soldiers to quit.  This has an important implication since tax collectors and soldiers at that time served illegitimate rulers.  Besides, they had the reputation of corruption. 

 

How do I live John the Baptist’s invitation today?
