Advent Starts Now
November 30, 2009
Advent starts now
Not when the gifts were stuffed into shops in warm October.
Advent starts with a voice crying “Get Ready”
Not with the coos and calls of comsumption.
Advent starts with hearts stripped bare, scaffolding down, empty and still…
Advent starts with a people humbled, desperate, dependent on Grace for the future unfolding.
It starts with a promise: God comes
The feast is not the goal; the feast is a promise:
He will be with us
So get ready
Advent starts today
