The Advent Task: Knowing God
First Tuesday in Advent: 1st December, 2015
IS 11: 1-10; Lk 10: 21-24
The task outlined today towards preparing for the Kingdom is knowing God. When we know God for real, our attitudes will be different. There will be no harm done to another in the presence of the Lord. Just because someone is different from me, I find a reason to hate that person or keep that person away from me - that is the tendency of the world today. It is a clear sign of people having moved far from the real knowledge of God. We have become too sophisticated to perceive the Lord, who is revealed precisely in simplicity. Let us grow to be children and we will get to know God!
