As we continue into the season of Advent, let us be reminded that it is only the Consolation of Israel-Jesus, that can bear the weight of our Ultimate expectations. When our lesser expectations are framed around the person and work of Jesus, we can then, begin to truly enjoy this season for what it was meant to be.

The Spirit of God is our teacher. One of the marks of the Spirit is that we are driven to one another which is arguably the Spirit’s primary classroom for our sanctification and formation as the sons and daughters of God.

Essentially we are closing out a segment of interactions with Jesus where He brings to light the true realities of the Kingdom of God.
