Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Do not be anxious about anything. That's what the apostle Paul said today. I don't know, I'm not sure, all that the Philippian Christians had to be anxious about, but it was likely many of the same things you and I get anxious about. Our world today is far different, yet at the same time not much has changed. So I rather see John like a wise, old teacher, advising his students. They come to him anxious, breathless, questioning. And John, calmly, like one who has been through this before, points them to the answer. Go ask Him, Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another? That is, are you the promised Messiah or not?
