Today we come to chapter 6. Jesus ministry is gaining momentum and he is healing and releasing people from bondage.
As he starts to teach he teaches the parable of the builder. There is an advent message in this parable for us today.
This is like the Christmas decorations on homes, everything looks great till the wind comes and it flaps and droops. The dust builds up, cobwebs grow and the lights fade. It is just a glossy cover over the ordinary.
But if our lives were built on more solid foundations then they would be less like the dressed up house.
They would shine bright all the time not just this time of year when we talk about Jesus and the music in the shops is bright happy and known by more than just the high school kids.
So this Advent don't just dress up your life to be merry and share good will to all for just this season. Set the foundation, build a life that will shine all year because the Light of the world has come and lives in you!
