Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice, the Lord is near
Luke 3:7-18

Third Sunday of Advent

Christ’s presence in our midst in the wonder of the holy supper is cause for singing. The nearness of the God in prayer, in every circumstance, is cause for rejoicing. The coming of one “more powerful” than John, even with a winnowing fork in hand, is good news—and cause for exultation—for us who are being saved. 

Great joy is the tone for the third Sunday of Advent.
