First Sunday of Advent (3)

What do if knew for sure at some point someone try to break into house?

prob buy security

insurance

alarms

in short: prep

this is Lord implores us

worldy work

how much suffering and work for earth (explain each)

fitness

medical

money

know make good result

religious

why then such laxity for final judgment?

if prep if knew thief come, health, money, why little here?

infinitely more than security, health, money

simply b/c love worldly more?

sort of, but another layer

this layer makes it even more about love

what?

How about if knew world was about be nuked

describe

what do?

certainly prepare

Worldly, sure but more:

know.

Since possible, but far from known

very few serious preppers for nuclear holocaust

Christ’s warning not intellectual knowledge

based in faith

more active knowledge

more a leap trust we take with will

will that moves you to leap is love

more meritorious than intellectual knowledge, b/c more will

certainly evidence,

but point when leap out into deep chasm trusting to land on unseen bridge

love impels beyond know intellectual certainty

If simply knew final judgment,

then more similar mercenary

but we serve in assurity of faith best thing,

but not w/o that loving leap rather than mere calculation

the very taking end seriously becomes act of love rather than mere calculation

b/c enough freedom intelelct to not take it seriously if dont WANT to

Preppers?

your prep unseen measure of trust and therefore love

how little or how much prep for final judgment:

how little or how much love God.

do we take leap of faith and take our final judgment seriously?

Notes:

me

be prepared

if we knew 3 lifetimes horror or bliss based on work

then how little sin be

look what many do for bit o money

‘children this generation’

Chrysostom: ‘less care for guarding souls than money from theives’

but this multiplied infinite

faith and knowledge lacking

provides freedom

Pitre

not rapture

take and left behind (to flood, left to flood and saved)

final judgment

“so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man” (the coming)
