This sermon is a look at the reason for the Christmas season through the Gospel of Mark 1:1-3 and a poem by Robert Frost. It seem a little funny in that Mark begins his Gospel by telling of John the baptist, the one who was sent to prepare the way for the coming Messiah. The words Mark begins with are quotes from the prophets of Isaiah and Malachi 800 and 500 years earlier.
By beginning thus Mark informs us that God has been paving a path of redemption for humanity for a long time. The question is, will we see it, will we follow it, and will we help others to find it?
As Frost said:
"I took the one less traveled and
that has made all the difference."
This Advent season will we choose the path of faith?
