God acts
Thursday
December 4th, Mark 1st 13: 26"And then they'll see the Son of Man enter in grand style, his
Arrival filling the sky--no one will miss it! 27He'll dispatch the
angels; they will pull in the chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole. The expectations in Isaiah were
fulfilled in the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Not by the Christ, but by all the angels who
knew from before time what this event meant for the world. In Mark’s Gospel we find similar
expectations. What will it be like when
the Son of Man returns? Will there be
the “Left Behind” scenario where only a few are chosen and the many left
behind? Are the chosen only the hundred
and forty four thousand, the frozen chosen, the right believers? Listen to the Emmanuel, God with us version
in which a babe is born in a manger and brings salvation to the whole
world. This is the way God acts in the
world. However, even with the Emmanuel
version, it is always a good idea to live ready.
