The waiting of Advent serves as a reminder that God’s people waited centuries for their Messiah. The prophets of the Old Testament told Israel that God will come to rescue them from their disobedience and restore their relationship. We hear that in the words of Psalm 33. As God’s people continue to wait, they are called to put their hope in the Lord. God will come to us. Advent reminds us that God’s long-awaited love that never fails has arrived in Jesus Christ.
O God your love is made known to us in the birth of Jesus Christ. May we place our hope in you alone in this Advent season and every season of our lives. We pray in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
