Every year I stand in front of a rack of shirts and ask myself the same question, “Which one would he like?” I wander around the store and find lavish gifts like dark chocolate and fancy deodorant. I wrap them up and place them under the tree or in my husband’s stocking. Occasionally I get wild and buy him a can of processed potato chips or something decorated in camouflage for hunting season.

As we celebrate the Third Sunday in Advent, we focus on the Gospel text with a devotional reading from Concordia Commentary: Matthew 11:2–20:34.

Our devotional reading for the commemoration of Ambrose of Milan is taken from Savior of the Nations—Advent Preaching & Worship Resource with CD-ROM, focusing on the words of one of his beautiful Advent hymns.
