What Should We Do? (Luke 3:7-18)

The third Sunday of Advent is about Joy.  Today's gospel from the Lectionary might seem to be one that is not very joyful.  John's sermon in the wilderness by the Jordan starts with the words "You brood of vipers!"  Not exactly very joyful words.  Yet as we will see in this week's lesson, sometimes the good news seems so much better in light of the bad news.  And we also find that the bad news often compels us to cry out, "What, then, should we do?"
