Expect the unexpected
It may seem strange to talk about Christ’s Second Coming when we’re just starting to prepare for the celebration of his first. But that’s exactly what the scripture readings for the first two Sundays of Advent do; it’s not until the third and fourth Sundays that we get to the Incarnation part. “You ... must be prepared,” we hear, “for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” What gives? Why speak of the End at the Beginning? Because in both cases Jesus becomes present to the world. Our task is to be ready to receive that presence, at the beginning and at the end and all the time in between.

Never will God’s coming be what you expect, and yet never will it disappoint.
