John the Baptist preaches the forgiveness of sins to help prepare the way of the Lord, but are we listening to his message? Do we hold onto those valleys that divide us from one another? Do we build up mountains to separate ourselves from those who are difficult to deal with or who challenge us? The season of Advent is the time when we prepare for the coming of Jesus, but are we preparing ourselves? Are we opening our hearts and minds to let God in so that he can complete the good work he began in us?
