Sermon for Gaudete, the Third Sunday in Advent
Dec 12, 2021 • Rev. Christopher Antonetti
Rejoice! Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice! So begins the introit today on the third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete – or, Rejoice! All you blind, rejoice, for you will see! All you lame rejoice, for you will walk! All you sick rejoice, for you will be cleansed! All you deaf rejoice, for you will hear! All you dead rejoice, for you will be raised! All you poor rejoice, for you will have the good news preached to you! If Jesus is truly the coming one, the Christ, then this is what we believe. When you ask, who is this Christ? These are your answers. Who is the Christ? No other questions matter.
