John uses Isaiah and Mark to find hope and peace in this hard year. A wilderness year. Isaiah and Mark are all about the wilderness.
If there was ever a year we need Isaiah it is this year. We hear worlds of hope for a people lost in the chaos and trauma of the exile, with words of God coming ready or not. So what does that mean for us preparing and waiting through this time of Advent?
We hear John the forerunner speaking words from the wilderness inviting us to repent, to see our world differently and to live in this world differently.
In what ways do we act as a forerunner?
What does that mean for us as people living in our COVID-19 wilderness?
