At first glance, the last story Jesus told before his execution is a tale about The End. Look again: it's a story that uses The End to point to now. God is seeking out lost and wounded sheep now. Compassion and healing are possible now. Advent encourages us: Live the promise today.

Pastor Ben Masters preached "Advent: The End is Now" on November 22, 2020, the Third Sunday of Advent. Read more about seven-week Advent at http://theadventproject.org/.
