This episode is an Advent sermon urging urgent spiritual readiness as the Church anticipates Christ’s return. The speaker contrasts popular ‘‘taken’’ interpretations with the biblical hope that Christ comes to set the world right and establish peace.
Using Isaiah’s image of turning swords into plowshares, references to church leaders praying for unity and peace, and the lighting of the Advent wreath, the message calls listeners to be purified by God’s love and reshaped for life so that they may greet the Lord without fear.
