UNCONTAINABLE JOY
THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT (A) GAUDETE SUNDAY DECEMBER 15, 2013 
In the Gospel Reading , Jesus is happy to report to John’s disciples that what has been prophesied in Isaiah is now being fulfilled.
The lame walk, the dumb hear, the blind see, etc. These people must be happy now, and their friends and relatives. These are all signs of the coming of God’s kingdom. The Lord is indeed come and his ministry has effected positive results. John the Baptist who is now in prison must be happy too. He is rejoicing at what is now happening. He and his disciples will not look for another one. He is it. He is the Messiah. Jesus, identified as Messiah, vindicates the efforts of John the Baptist. Are you a happy person? |
