This Sunday marks the beginning of Advent. This is a season Christians have observed for many centuries. It’s a season of heightened remembrance of the coming of the Messiah and of heightened hope for his final return when he will purge the world of its evil and bring about the New Creation. A salvation that began with the birth of a baby will be consummated by a triumphant King. Advent is about learning to live in between. For his glory and our joy.
