Advent: And Just Who is This Family?
Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 25:31–46 shows that loving those on the margins—the hungry, sick, and homeless—is loving Christ himself. Advent calls us to see and serve Jesus’ family in need, making each act of love a sharing of God-with-us and a foretaste of his coming kingdom.
