ADVENT... expectation...

The Advent-message: The WORD of GOD came to John ... (in the wilderness)
                                    and he calls for a Baptism of repentance...  for a better future...
Today "John the Baptist" is sees as a VOICE like many years ago Isaias...
The basic message is: METANOIA (new thinking or turn around)   for a better future...
This is a long time provocation...  until today...  also in 2015 all Christian Churches call upon
the Baptized: prepare a way for the Lord (and not for others)
                      and all mankind shall see the salvation of God.

Today all Churches are VOICES! we hope: hear able, understandable, acceptable...
But YOU as a Church MEMBER, YOU (dear reader) are you a VOICE ???
it means: do you understand yourself as a VOICE ???
A voice in the desert, in the City, in your profession, in your Church,environment, family ???

A voice with only a cry or a voice with a message ??? a real call-up ???
What is your MESSAGE ???  
What do you like to bring as your message to the people of today ???
Do you like to tell them: we must turn around (metanoia) and life will be better for all ???
Or in religious language: prepare a way for Jesus Christ
ans salvation will become a reality.
And very important: can you discuss with your people very exactly WHERE + HOW 
the "turn around" may take place ???

In ADVENT we clear our expectations...
we discuss the changes, we like to strive for...
we wait actively for a new Earth + a new Heaven.

A VOICE  -  A MESSAGE  -  A EXPECTATION
