As We Approach Advent, and Prepare for His Coming . . . Hear What Jesus Says About His Second Coming (TA) In today’s readings one can understand why man looks at nature . . . the beauty of the sky, the vastness of the ocean and the power of the storms . . . and calls them God. But note how odd it is that as fascinated as man is by these things, he has a tendency to stop at the things and not move beyond them. And so it is that one is overwhelmed by the beauty of creation. But doesn’t ask the next question. Who makes these beautiful and passing things if not one who is beautiful and does not pass away? To see the might of the natural world, its great strength, and to pause there and say, but what is the source of this might and this strength? Why is it that when the human mind sees the pointing finger indicating something beyond itself, it never looks past the fingertip and fails to see God. Hear What Jesus Says About His Second Coming This disposition that we hear in our first reading (not included within this audio), that the heavens themselves, as our psalms said, proclaim the glory of God, and yet we… See the heavens proclaiming in their beauty but fail to miss what they proclaim. This is a disposition that underlies the teaching of Jesus. So, Jesus now, speaking to his disciples, is speaking of that day when the Son of Man will be revealed. And in speaking of this way, he is pointing ahead to His second coming, to that day when the Lord will come and there will be no doubt at all who He is. When the glory of the Lord, the triumph of the Lord, the victory of the Lord will be unambiguously revealed. And yet he says, even as that day arrives, there are going to be two very, very different outcomes, depending on the state of the attentiveness of the heart of man. As we approach Advent and prepare for His coming . . . Hear What Jesus Says About His Second Coming. Listen to this Meditation Media. ___________________________________________________________________ Note: (TA) Media with the symbol (TA) at the end of the title contains a transcript of the audio at the bottom of the post.  Select to display.
