Weekly Reflection

Strengthen Your Hearts

12-01-2024  |  We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 49, No. 1

Five or six centuries before the birth of Christ, God made a promise through the prophet Jeremiah: “I will raise up for David a just shoot,” whom we regard now as Jesus, our Savior (Jeremiah 33:15).

Before he died, Jesus made a promise to his disciples: He promised that when he comes in glory, those who stand upright before him will be redeemed. At this time of year, we think more often of the first promise than the second. It may help to remind ourselves of the third way in which Jesus comes into the world, also when we least expect: into our hearts.

He may come through the service we do for those in need, or in the forgiveness we receive in the sacrament of reconciliation, or when we give and receive in the spirit of gratitude that pervades this time of year. Realizing that Jesus may come to us this way again and again before he eventually comes again in glory, let us, as Paul writes, strengthen our hearts by “increas[ing] and abound[ing] in love for one another and for all” (1 Thessalonians 3:12).

What will you do this Advent to hasten Jesus’ coming into your heart?

—We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 50, No. 1


Cinco o seis siglos antes del nacimiento de Cristo, Dios hizo una promesa a través del profeta Jeremías: “Haré surgir de David un retoño justo”, a quien ahora consideramos como Jesús, nuestro Salvador (Jeremías 33:15).

Antes de morir, Jesús hizo una promesa a sus discípulos: prometió que cuando él venga en gloria, quienes se presenten ante él serán redimidos. En esta época del año, pensamos más a menudo en la primera promesa que en la segunda. Puede ser útil recordar la tercera forma en que Jesús viene al mundo, también cuando menos lo esperamos: en nuestros corazones.

Puede venir a través del servicio que hacemos a los necesitados, o en el perdón que recibimos en el sacramento de la reconciliación, o cuando damos y recibimos en el espíritu de gratitud que impregna esta época del año. Al darnos cuenta de que Jesús puede venir a nosotros de esta manera una y otra vez antes de que finalmente venga de nuevo en gloria, fortalezcamos nuestros corazones, como escribe Pablo, “creciendo y abundando en amor unos para con otros y para con todos” (1 Tesalonicenses 3:12).

¿Qué harás este Adviento para acelerar la venida de Jesús a tu corazón?
