Advent is a season for us to reflect about ourselves in relation to our past and our future.
More importantly it is a task to reflect on our present as to whether we deserve the graciousness, compassion, and the providence which God has given us by giving His Son to the world in order, ultimately, to pay for our infirmities, irreverence, ungratefulness and our sins.
This is an occasion for us to THINK of our future life beyond our earthly being. This is an occasion for us to ask ourselves whether we have the Faith, Courage, Hope and Confidence to face the world that has yet to come.
This is an occasion for us to reflect on how we could make ourselves better in the eyes of our Creator, to be worthy of His mercy.
I now then challenge you to reflect on these things in the hope that we can bring about reconciliation with ourselves, our neighbors and God.
One thing which we should not forget is that we cannot purchase a ticket to Heaven after this life, rather we should trust that no man is worthy of the promised blessing and peace of eternal life but only and only through the mercy of God as shown in the sacrifice of His Son.
