urgency

  • Jesus tells his followers to do something more than prepare: to feel an urgency, to be ready, for the need is urgent and ongoing.

  • Jesus’s apocalyptic vision seems confusing. Until we focus on what he’s trying to say rather than what we hear.

  • In the holiday season, we hear Jesus’s invite us to listen and hear in the midst of chaos—a call, not to ending it, but being in the center of it.
