In days to come the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it. (Isaiah 2:2 NRSV Bible)
Isaiah said in our scripture reading today, "In days to come the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it." One day all will come to the great mountain of God. God's love will prevail.

When Jesus left behind the disciples and entrusted them with the enterprise of telling the world the Good News of God's love and mercy, he made those disciples a promise, "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also."

Advent/Christmas is that season when we look both backward and forward. We look back to Christ's coming into the world in the manger at Bethlehem, but we also look forward to a perfect world full of Christ's love and peace. And that perfect world begins with you and me!

Dear God, with the help of your son, Jesus Christ, help me to make this world more perfect, because of your love that works through me. In Jesus name, Amen.
