December 3, 2011First Saturday of AdventFor a people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weepno more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound ofyour cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you. And thoughthe Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction,yet your Teacher will not hide himself anymore, butyour eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear aword behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," whenyou turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:19-21In Isaiah’s words we see evidence of God’s promise to Israel, thatHe would hear their cries and be merciful. Furthermore, Isaiah tellsus of another promise: that our Teacher will no longer hide Himselffrom us, but that our eyes will see Him.The Godly mercy of which Isaiah wrote would come to life on thatfirst Christmas, when Mary bore Jesus. On that night, our Teacherwas no longer hidden, but came to dwell among us. He grew up,and we heard Him say to us “This is the way, walk in it.”Holy Spirit, come upon us and be with us in this Advent Seaon. Light ourway through the darkness, so that we may clearly see the way of our Teacher,Jesus Christ, and walk in it now and always. AmenJoseph PughAssociate Professor of Business Administration
