As we shared last week, Advent is a season of waiting that prepares us for Christmas and the coming of the Christ child. Advent connects us to the people of Israel who were waiting for the promised Messiah, and this season seeks to slow us down, to be focused, and to be intentional about what we are waiting for. Yet, Advent is not meant to be passive. Instead, we are to be focused on how to take action, because there are things that God can't wait to bring into the world. Last week, we talked about how God can't wait for us to experience hope. This week, we are going to talk about how God can't wait for us to experience peace. Peace can seem like such a vague notion, but the book of Isaiah (Isaiah 11:1-10) describes peace in very specific terms. Peace will look like wolves and lambs lying down together and all kinds of other seemingly impossible natural occurrences. More than this, a child will lead them into this peace. A peace like this requires action - repentance. This week, Pastor Sarah will share how repentance (or turning around) is something we can do today as a way that leads to peace whilst we wait.
