THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT,
CYCLE A
John the Baptist, in prison, sent his
disciples to Jesus with the question,
Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?
Jesus
replied that the outcasts of society were
being helped, and the poor were
receiving good news. As the disciples
were going off, Jesus told the crowds
that John was the messenger sent by
God to prepare the way for the
promised one.
John, sitting in Herods prison, was
quite aware of the situation in Judea. His beleaguered nation,
now a province
of the Roman Empire, for centuries had
suffered under the oppressive rule of
foreign powers. The people were
victims of heavy taxation, violence, and
even the desecration of their holy
places and traditions. At times their
own political and religious leaders were
unfaithful and oppressive. In face of
this pervasive evil, John believed that
his mission was to prepare the way for
the coming wrath, when God would
finally destroy the evil-doers and
establish his kingdom.
Johns disciples, probably with some
hesitation, told him that Jesus made no
mention of the coming wrath. Nor
was there anything about rescuing John
from prison. Instead, he talked about
the blind, the lame, lepers, the deaf, the
dead, and about poor people getting
good news. Jesus, realizing that his
message might not fit Johns
expectation, added the remark about
the blessedness of the one who hears
his words, and does not lose trust in
him.
We may find ourselves in situations
of violence, suffering and confusion;
and we too will have expectations of
how God will intervene. Isnt our
expectation that Gods presence will be
some manifestation of superior power
to make things right? Jesus realized
that only the humble power of Gods
love can vanquish the reign of evil and
bring about a new kingdom of justice
and peace. Love must actualize itself in
defending and promoting the God-
given rights of every human beingthe
fundamental right to live and the right
to participate with dignity in the life of
the community. Love, which seems
most weak, most impractical, most
foolish in the face of evil, is the only
force that can change the human heart.
Only if we are able, like John, to be
freed of our own expectations, will we
be able to welcome the coming of the
Lord and his way of love. Then we,
also like John, may prepare the way
for others to welcome the Lords
coming.
