As we begin the Advent season, we remember that we are citizens, not the King. Too often we climb onto a throne that isn't ours, trying to rule our own lives. But Advent invites us to step down from the throne and let the King be King. When we shift our identity from king to citizen, we find the freedom, peace, and joy that come from living under the reign of the One who has come — and is coming again.
