“Unless Yahweh builds the house, in vain do its builders toil over it”
(Psalm 127:1). This is an enduring warning to all who aspire to grand
projects–whether presidents or peace activists! Its radical wisdom
echoes through the familiar annunciation story of the fourth Sunday of Advent: God prepares to rebuild
the house of David (Luke 1:32f) by taking up residence in the womb of
the homeless woman Mary.
