Waiting With Love

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been walking through a series and a season of Advent. That word “Advent” means “to wait” or “to anticipate.” We’ve seen how Christmas was the culmination of Advent#1 — 2,000 years ago — God’s people were waiting for the Messiah, and they were waiting because God had promised them that He would send a Savior. Seven hundred years after the promise was made, the promise was fulfilled, and Jesus Christ was born. Jesus came. Christmas came, and the wait was finally over. Our Heavenly Father did the most loving thing He could ever do and sent His Son to earth to live, die, and resurrect so our eternities could be forever changed. And it’s that kind of love we’re going to look into deeper today.
