Even the greatest of prophets sometimes question their mission and John the Baptist is no exception. But Jesus is the Messiah, and he assures John that all the hallmarks of the Messianic age, promised in Isaiah, are coming to pass through him and that the kingdom is at hand. James urges us to be patient, to be at peace with each other, and thereby prepare our hearts for Jesus’ Second Coming. Advent is not yet over, and we still have time to prepare our own hearts and minds to receive the Christ Child… but will we be ready?
