The word advent means – “coming.” So during the Christmas season – the season of Advent – it is appropriate to look back at first coming of Christ, and to look forward to His second coming. Though the word “advent” is mostly lost to more modern language, Advent is what our hearts really long for – what are hearts are really made for - for God to come... for God to show up. We long for God to show up in the hard things and joyous things, the planned for things and the unexpected things, the mundane things and the extraordinary things. Advent reminds us that deep under the surface and out of our sight, God is working – He always has been, and He always will be! God’s goodness and glory await His children, and one day He will come again!
