Have you ever watched someone say something important to you and been completely unable to hear it? The preacher begins with the week he lost his hearing and moves to the culture of noise in which God’s voice is drowned out by thousands of others. The reflection walks through the first fifteen verses of Mark’s Gospel (Mark 1), where the evangelist, a prophet, John the Baptist and the Father himself speak with one surprisingly unified voice about who Jesus is. Listen and consider whether, among the many voices of this world, you can still recognise that one.
One Voice Among Many Voices
Four Stories
Whenever Christmas approaches, we have the opportunity to reflect anew on the most beautiful story-the story of how God became human and came into the world to save us.
As we read the four Gospels, we discover that each evangelist presents these events from a slightly different perspective. Some focus on the circumstances of Jesus’ birth itself, while others-when speaking of His coming-trace their narrative all the way back to the creation of the world or to the prophecies of the Old Testament.
Yet, in essence, they are all telling one Story-the Story of Salvation. And we are not merely listeners.
We are invited to become part of it-by following Jesus, its main Character.
