Did you know that you were designed to experience the transformative love of God? It is not secret that the whole planet has lost its way. But Jesus has come to remedy this massive relational catastrophe. He has come to reverse the curse and pour God's love into our hearts.

When God chooses to act in mercy, it is radical. His action moves in counter-intuitive ways, working in conspiracy against our self-absorbed lives and introducing us to risky faith and purposeful freedom.

What is there about Advent as a present-day conspiracy that liberates us from being mere consumers and transforms us into being world-changers? What is there about the birth narrative of Jesus that invites us into a radically new way of living?

This holy season, this Advent—the celebration of the coming of Jesus—we are invited to enter into the joy of worship. To worship God is to find oneself worshiping Jesus. It is a striking feature of the story of Jesus that people came to worship him. To worship him is to declare that he is above all. That he has captivated our hearts and we find joy in surrendering to his love.

Expectancy. I like the word. It feels hopeful. It’s filled with anticipation, the kind of mental alertness that causes a person to lean forward, eyes wide open with heart pumping desire. To me it rightly expresses what happens to us when we become aware of God’s love for us. God is a good Father who loves to give himself away to us. His truth liberates us. His strength empowers us. His call upon our lives gives us purpose. There is something about his goodness that is beyond our imagination. Expectancy!
