From the Pastor’s Corner

2nd Sunday of Advent

T herefore every tree that does not bear good fruit

will be cut down and thrown into the fire." John

the Baptist meant business. He proclaimed a

serious message of change and conversion in

words that, today, might earn him the label of a "hellfire

and brimstone" preacher. But he was more than a preacher;

he was a witness to repentance. Indeed, he must have been

a sight to behold draped in his penitential garb, nibbling on

his locusts and honey. Anyone who heard him preaching

must have taken notice, even if they didn't take heed. If

nothing else, John the Baptist surely got people's attention.

But will he get ours? Because we've heard this story

before, we might be inclined to glaze over its inherent

drama. He urges us, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is

at hand!" This is the moment! Now is the time! Advent

especially reminds us to examine our lives and renew our commitment to Christ. As John the

Baptist put it, we are called to "produce good fruit as evidence" of our repentance.

True conversion reveals itself outwardly. When our hearts change, our actions do too. Charity

replaces criticism. Forgiveness replaces anger. Service replaces selfishness. This marks the

difference between a "tree" that is firmly rooted in Christ, and one that's only good for a pile of

firewood. "Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees." This Advent, may we feel the urgency

of John's words and get about the serious business of repentance.
