Advent is a time when intense expectation fills our hearts with longing for that which already is. God has entered our world. Eternity has come into our realm. Heaven has invaded earth. So we celebrate with great expectation.
This is not the celebration of a calandar day, but rather the celebration of the dawing of a new age for humankind. Christ is coming. That reality is as exciting today as it was almost 2000 years ago. It is like Christ is coming for the first time today. This sense of expectation is captured so well in this song I posted a year ago. I thought I would post it again.
Enjoy
