This is the first Sunday of Advent. Mark describes the Advent of God into the world in ways that are sudden, unexpected, and surprising. It’s like a man who has gone on a journey of an unknown length and left his servants in charge of the household. While the owner is gone, the servants are expected to keep the place operational and be ready to welcome the owner upon his return. Getting ready for God’s Advent requires spiritual preparations, and requires us to pack in a certain way. We need things in our suitcase that will keep us awake to God’s Advent among us.
