As we explore a few of the people throughout the Biblical narrative, we see that from the very beginning God’s people have been a people of advent. That is, they have been waiting, longing, and hoping for the promised Rescuer to finally come and save us. We, too, are a people of advent. Though Jesus has come and ushered in the Kingdom of God, it is not in its fullness yet, and we are waiting, longing, and hoping for his return to make it full and final. May we find hope, peace, joy, and love as we enter into the story of Advent along with those who have come before us.
