In this third week of Advent, we find John the Baptist in the midst of his ministry, and feeling frustrated. A good-sized crowd had gathered to be baptized, but all for the wrong reasons. They were there because it was the "in" thing to do - not because they wanted a changed life, and John called them on it. Amazingly, they listened. And they asked the question we all ask when we know our lives aren't what they should be: “Then what are we supposed to do?” What ARE we supposed to do? |
