    Introduction: Our Gospel reading today begins with a cry from the wilderness—not the voice of a king, nor the voice of someone celebrated or important, but the bold, lonely voice of John the Baptist declaring, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 1. A Voice in the Wilderness A lonely ...read more
