Advent Reflections: Thursday, December 2

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter
the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.” —Matthew 7:21

At a Quaker meeting a visitor breaks the silence to ask
his neighbor, “When does the service begin?”
The reply: “As soon as the worship finishes.”



Isaiah 26:1–6
Psalm 118
Matthew 7:21, 24–27
