(December 1, 2024) “Advent: Hope”

from Luke 1:5-38

As familiar as the season of Advent is for so many of us, what is it about this season; this time leading up to Christmas that we need to hear year after year? Why does it matter? Why the same scriptures, the same stories? Hasn’t Christ already come? Indeed He has, but we are promised that He is coming again. And if His coming meant and means for us the renewal of Hope, of Joy, of Love and Peace, then perhaps we ought to seek the arrival of those truths once again and consider how we might live life in the reality of an already and coming King.
