John the Baptist stands in a long line of prophets. Their goal in the scripture is not to predict the future but to speak the truth.
God’s goal is not to cast us out into darkness but to gather us all to him in eternity.
And what I say unto you I say to all: watch.
The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of truth, grace and love and joy.
And what longs to be born in our world and from our hearts is the same thing that was coming to birth in Mark’s world and in the hearts of those early Christians: the Kingdom of God.
Every one of us, in baptism, is buried with Christ in his death, to rise with him in resurrection. We are all called to be dead to sin and alive to God. We are all called to be saints.
The church is also filled with people who know God’s love and want to share it.
When we pray for open eyes, open minds, and open hearts, it just about guarantees that we, as disciples, will be called to take some risks. And I think that healthy stewardship requires us to take some risks.
