Before there was ever a manger or a donkey, the pregnant virgin or the angel – before any of these things could become good news, God’s people sat in darkness, longing for the light to come. Advent is a season of waiting and preparation for God to come—not only when Christ came to dwell with us, but even more the day when he shall return to judge the living and the dead, and when he will make all things new. As we wait, let us journey together into hope, and prepare room in our hearts to receive Jesus’ coming as good news!
