hope

Friday December 20^th, Matthew 11: What sort of person did you go out into the desert to see? Was he like tall grass blown about by the wind? 8 What kind of man did you go out to see? Was he someone dressed in fine clothes? People who dress like that live in the king's palace. 9 What did you really go out to see? Was he a prophet? He certainly was. I tell you that he was more than a prophet.  John the Baptist would never make it on any of the “idol”  or dancing programs.  What drew others to him and his message?  What drew them was the crazy hope that they could start anew.  What drew them was a sense of peace at the awareness of God in their lives.  What drew them was a feeling of joy at being a part of the Kingdom here and now.  All there wrapped up in his ugly cloths and short and sometimes nasty demeanor was the image and the message that maybe, just maybe there is hope in the world.  Just imagine what could happen of you let God work through you?
