Danger of missing the Lord who comes # 2:
The first reading speaks of the sons of Jacob, and among them Judah who has to rule! The Gospel reading gives us the whole lineage of Jesus, the Christ who is to come! We look at those who are around us... we know them all - their history, their geography, their background... and with all these, we think we know them so much... that we can miss the Lord who wants to encounter us in them, in their words or gestures! There is a big danger that we look at some persons everyday or so regularly, that they no longer really mean anything to us. The second danger of missing the Lord who comes to us, is in the danger of Taking Persons for Granted.

The beautiful history of God's redemptive work through various people at different level and status yet we are all children of God!
