Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
In 1900, a writer in The New York Times prophesied that the advent of the automobile would
solve the parking problem, since the automobile occupies less space at a curb than a horse and
wagon.
Well, the automobile didn't solve the parking problem, but there is one solution to our readiness
problem--Jesus Christ.
(Luke 3:4
NRSV)
Advent, the time of preparation for Christmas, reminds us that this is the season when we prepare
our hearts to celebrate that occasion when God came down to win our love. Isaiah the prophet
had written of a day when the peoples of the earth would say, "Come, let us go up to the
mountain of the Lord. . . ." That mountain, though, proved too high for a self-centered humanity
to climb. So, when we could not climb up to God, God came down to us. Jesus comes to us once
again in this Christmas season. Are we ready?
Dear Jesus, help me to be Y2K ready with you leading the way. Amen.
