Third Sunday of Advent
December 13, 2015
This Sunday, God rejoices and sings because of
us. We read in Zephaniah today that God “will sing
joyfully because of you, / as one sings at
festivals” (Zephaniah 3:18). We know plenty about
singing at festivals. Already our ears are ringing with
the songs and carols that anticipate the Christmas
season.
Paul reminds us of the source of our own double
rejoicing: God is the mighty savior who is in our
midst (in Zephaniah’s words). Because this is so,
says Paul, we can rejoice and be at ease. We don’t
have to worry, for God’s peace will stand guard over
our hearts and minds.
A medieval carol depicts Christmas as “my
dancing day” and urges us to enter into the dance.
Why all the merrymaking? Because “the Lord is
near,” as Paul reminds us (Philippians 4:5). He then
points to another reason for the dancing: the dawn
of the promise of peace, the peace beyond all
understanding, that is now within our grasp.
