🌟The God of the Living

Look & Listen: Advent Day 20

Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness (Caravaggio, 1604)

Reflection: Caravaggio’s Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness captures the raw humanity of the prophet who prepared the way for Christ. In darkness and wilderness, John’s steadfast faith points to the living God who brings hope and life to a weary world.

Advent reminds us that the living God comes into lives, breathing life into our struggles. John’s life, marked by simplicity and surrender, challenges us to trust that God is alive and at work in our hearts, no matter how barren the wilderness may seem.

Where in your life do you need God’s living presence? Trust in his power to bring light to darkness, and prepare your heart to receive him.
