There’s only about two weeks until Christmas! As a child, when this time would come, the anticipation became unbearable. We had been asked, “what do you want for Christmas?” We had submitted our answers and now waited in great anticipation for what was coming. Christmas morning would arrive, and we would soon realize all that we had hoped for.
On that grand morning we would begin opening presents, and soon it would become clear that what lie beneath the beautiful wrappings, what was nestled below the bow and gift-tag was not exactly what we were hoping for. That may sound spoiled, but leading up to the big day were commercials, lists, questions about what we wanted for Christmas, with the raised eyebrow and wink of an eye that said, you just might get what you’re hoping for.
Join us, this Sunday, as we sit with John the Baptist, in a prison cell. He’s asking a question, it’s a question that we all ask at one time or another. (Matthew 11:2-11)
