Rev. R.A. Carson preached on
the advent of the Lord. He said
most modern Christians profess
amazement that Israel did not
recognize the Messiah when He
came. Yet the recurring advent
season drives us to probe our
hearts and minds to see if we are
harboring secret images that
confuse us and prevent Christ
coming into our lives. To many
Jesus is too common, too usual,
too demanding and He doesn't
look or act like a God To know
God, we must set aside our
delusions and follow Christ, said
Rev. Carson
