Growing up, it seemed like it took forever to wait for Christmas, especially Christmas break. But now waiting for Christmas seems like it was here last month! The waiting in advent is expecting Hos presence to be known among all that gather together. Instead of waiting for a break, I’m expecting and praying for a great expectation of knowing who Jesus is. We wait together, praying together, discovering ways that we can love Him deeper and more worshipful.
“You see, the Advent story reminds us that our past, present, and future hope rest not on our willingness, but on the willingness of the One for whom the angels sang, the shepherds worshiped, and the magi searched. Willing Jesus is the only hope for unwilling sinners!
