Third Sunday of Advent - B. "Not worthy to untie his sandlestraps."
The Isaiah text today is a classic, used by Jesus himself (Luke 4), to describe what he understood was his mission from the Father. But we can also see ourselves as anointed, as specially chosen by God, to do the Lord's work in a variety of ways. We rejoice and are proud of the gift of faith alive in us. The baptizer John, also an anointed one, shows us that humility is appropriate, even necessary, for those chosen to proclaim the coming of the Lord. He is the Savior, we are only the humble slaves.
