Waiting for the Light
Waiting … something each one has experienced, but few enjoy. From the moment that sin entered the world and everything plunged into spiritual darkness, all creation has been waiting for the Light. Those who believe in Jesus live with the odd tension of having already met the light of Christ, yet at the same time continuing to wait longingly for the fulfillment of Jesus’ victory at the end of all things. This Advent season we will remember the waiting of the Jewish people for the arrival of the promised Messiah that never seemed to come. We will also contemplate what it means for us to wait for the perfection of heaven. Christian waiting is not passive—how should we wait, and what should we be doing as we wait for the Light of eternity to dawn?
