During Advent, readings from the Gospel of Luke focus not only on Jesus’ birth but also the church begun through his Passion and Resurrection. The lectionary does not start with the events that led up to the nativity story in the first chapters. Instead jumping to chapter 21 where Jesus talks to the disciples about being ready for the end of times. This coming week we hear the voice of John the Baptist, calling to “prepare the way for the Lord” in Chapter 3, not getting to Chapter 1 and the Song of Mary until the 4th Sunday of Advent.
