ADVENT: NOT YOUR AVERAGE JOE

Sometimes being a follower of Jesus can feel like a long, monotonous slog through life. Day after day. Week after week. Worship service after worship service. Sin and forgiveness. Sin and forgiveness. Get up, try to do what you are supposed to do, go to bed. Repeat. Read your Bible, come to worship. Hear the Good News. Repeat. There is, at times, a desire for more; more excitement, more emotion, more direct revelation from God. More direct interaction like back in Bible times when angels would appear to people. How cool would that be to have an angel appear to you? How exciting would it be to have an angel come and talk to you and bring you a message from God? That would be pretty amazing, but for the most part we live pretty average lives as followers of God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
