Christmas is corning. And so is the
Messiah, Everyone's cooperating. The snow
god just laid in a year's supply of snow in a
single week. I sure wish I had him on my work
team. What that guy can do with a little wind
behind him!
My driveway's all piled up in snow, so
Harvey Ahrens can come down and blow'it all
out --not 'with his own wind of course,
although I will admit Harvey can talk. But he's
got a new snow blower machine on his tractor.
Harvey claims we don't have enough
snow--yet. Now, maybe that's his sense of
humour, but with that new machine of his, he
can never have enough snow to keep her
busy,
As I s,ay, every one's cooperating. Ralph
Wietersen's Christmas trees are in. My
mailbox is now squashed into a seven inch
miniature --thanks to the snowplow.
My wife keeps saying she has to wash the
windows before Christmas --only on the
inside, of course. But she never gets to it. She
has a ladder posted outside right beside the
front door. I practically trip over it everytime I
walk in.
Why doesn't she move the thing? It's for
those windows she's going to get at any day
now, she insists.
I think she's trying to tell me something.
Why don't I move it? Move it in?and stand on
it? Ahd go to it?
But the snow covered it all over last week,
That's one job, - before Christmas that's
blanketed and forgotten.
Enough. Enough of all these earthly things.
Christms is corning 'and so is the Messiah,
That's where my thoughts should be.
I'm thinking. I'm thinking. The Messiah's
coming.
That CBC radio program on the Messiah
I'm working on is putting me in the Christmas
mood. And all 'those Jewish stories on
Messiah's coming build on one expectant
hope after another, Especially when you
listen to an Orthodox rabbi like Shlomo
Carlebach.
This rabbi tells,y ou, that cabalistic tradition
says you can bring-in-the Messiah if you want
him to come bad enough: If you long for him
desperately enough, if you expect him
urgently enough, that Great Desire of Nations
will come.
But longing enough isn't good enough. You
have to know wh ',at to do with the Messiah
once he's come. The rabbi tells a story ab out
a young 17 year old student who had all those
desperate yearnings for the Messiah to come,
So he went into the synagogue, picked up the
ram's horn and blew. He wanted that blast to
bring on the Messiah.
It worked. The graves opened up in the
cemetery and the dead star ted to come forth.
The boy panicked. He didn't know what to
do. He was terrified. He ran over to his
teacher . - rabbi and told him what was
happening.
The rabbi told the dead to return to their
graves, He sent them all back.And .he shook
his head at the boy. "Don't do that again," he
said, "You were brave enough to raise a
tumult, but you didn't know what to do once
he came. If you really wanted the Messiah to
come, you'd welcome him and know what to
do."
KnOwing what to do is important. The rabbi;
says we're Messiah-like people when we do ,
something--when we're like Abraham and not
like Noah.
You remember Noah. God said he was
going to send a. flood and Noah gave him n o
argument. He agreed, - if that's the way God
wanted it. It was his way . His say. '
But when God told Abraham he is going to
destroy the city because of the people's
Wickedness., Abraham talked back to God. He
negotiated with Him. He' partnered himself
with God -and he managed to save three,
almost four neonle. from Sodom,. Lot's wife
didn't quite make it. She looked back and
became a pillar of salt.
Rabbi Carlesbach says most holy and pious
people are Noah people. When disaster
looms, they roll their eyes heavenward and ay,
"It's God's will..'' But Abraham people don't.
They're like the doctor who looks at a sick
person" and says "I'M going to do everything
to make this person well". Instead of saying,
<< person
God will this person should die."
The Messiah's coming. For Christians he's
totting once again in ten more days. For
-Christians he's coming again at the end of the
age. For the Jewish people, Messiah IS
tailing too,
The Messiah IS Omit*.• Th
. all
at"s What
Christmas arid this day today-- is about,
The Messiah is coming
