From the Gospel:
“And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, the one who is to come. Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
John the Baptist did not always say things that were comforting to people. He was the forerunner for Jesus, who would also challenge good people to re-evaluate their choices or stances. Do you know someone who has a gift of telling you want you need to hear even though you don’t want to hear it? As much as you don’t want to hear it, you know that you need to hear this. Are you willing to listen to the voices in your life that challenge you rather than comfort you? Are you willing to be that voice that challenges others knowing that it may not be welcomed?
