The Weary World Rejoices
“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will fulfill the good promise.”
Advent is like glimpsing a promise that is being fulfilled but is still in progress. It is the promise of a return – a restoration of all things, a goodness conceived from the beginning of time, a realized hope we’ve been longing for. For the “days are coming” say the prophets of old.
This season, we will take a closer look at what it means to hope for a future we can only glimpse, what it feels like to live in the already-but-not-yet of God’s promise. We trust in the promises of truth, compassion, restoration, and justice, which are found in the person of Jesus.
