Advent marks the beginning of the Christian year. In this season, we remember how Israel waited in hope for Jesus the Messiah. In our own time we remember how we are also waiting for Christ’s return.
We recognize that not all is as it should be in our world. While this is the case every year, this feels especially true in 2021. Many held out hope for life to go back to normal in some sense this fall. However, society, and especially the church, have continued to trudge through the events of 2020 and 2021. Many are tired, grieved, and burnt out.
In his remarks from the Feasting on the Word commentary, Gary W. Charles says this about the Advent season: “The stories of Advent are dug from the harsh soil of human struggle and the littered landscape of dashed dreams. They are told from the vista where sin still reigns supreme and hope has gone on vacation.”[i]
So the themes explored in Advent are especially poignant for us this year. We need to hear again the Bible’s clear promise that we can know hope, peace, joy and love through the God who took on flesh to be like us. As we wait in hope for the Lord to renew our land and our world in our time, we continue to proclaim that Jesus is our Messiah. All who turn to Him can find true and abiding life for today and for the future. May every heart prepare Him room.
