Gospel Mt 11:11-15

John was the prototype of what Jesus wanted us to be. He paved the way for Christ. I wonder if John and Jesus played together as children. As Elizabeth and Mary were cousins perhaps they did. There is no scripture to support this. In this Advent time, we can prepare ourselves for the coming of the savior, a truly wonderful time of the year.

Let us imagine ourselves in this scene above, hearing John’s words of the coming of a savior, listening attentively as Jesus tell us to in the Gospel today.
“Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
