THE LONG-AWAITED ONE As the Sundays of Advent unfold the scriptures shift focus from the

final coming of the Lord to his historical birth. Today’s scrip-

tures blend the two. Isaiah’s disil-lusionment with the kings of his own day led him to envision an ideal king who would rule with

divine approval and be led by di-vine wisdom. For centuries the

Jewish people anticipated the ar-rival of that Messiah, who would usher in a blessed age when the whole world would finally dwell

in justice and peace. After centuries of such growing expectation, the preaching of

John the Baptist about the immi-nent arrival of the Messiah could not help but provoke intense in-

terest. The Baptist’s message about preparation for “the one

who is coming” (Matthew 3:11) makes clear that Jesus is, in fact, the long-awaited one who is ush-ering in the

new age fore-told by Isaiah

and all the prophets.

LARGA ESPERA A medida que transcurren los

domingos de Adviento el foco de las lecturas cambia de la venida

final del Señor a su histórico nacimiento. Las lecturas de hoy

mezclan ambos. Isaías, desilusionado de los reyes de sus tiempos, imagina al rey ideal que gobernará con la aprobación de Dios y será guiado por la divina sabiduría. Por siglos el pueblo judío anticipó la llegada de ese Mesías, quien inauguraría una era de gracia cuando todo el mundo finalmente viviría en

justicia y paz. Luego de siglos de creciente

expectativa, la predicación de Juan Bautista sobre la inminente llegada del Mesías no hizo más que provocar un intenso interés.

El mensaje del Bautista sobre “el que viene” (Mateo 3:11) deja

claro que Jesús, de hecho, es aquel esperado por largo tiempo

que inaugura la nueva era

predicha por Isaías y todos los profetas.
