Third Sunday of Advent

A Sermon

Scripture Text: Isaiah 35:1–10; Psalm 146:1–10; James 5:7–11; Matthew 11:2–15

Oh, what fools sinners are. And being poor sinners, we are such fools. Yet even foolish sinners will never go astray if they walk in the Way of Holiness. Where is this road; how do we find it? Is it a highway built by kings or princes, nations or peoples? Or is it the roadway of he who watches over all sojourners? Is God himself the Way of Holiness? Jesus said he is the way (John 14:6). So, let us look to the Lord himself—not to a way of life, of living pious lives. The Lord is coming. Be patient. Ground your hearts in God’s word; strengthen your faith by trusting in the Lord. He is coming for poor, foolish sinners such as ourselves, who walk in the Way of Holiness who is Jesus Christ the Savior of the World.
