I have an advent faith. I seem to be looking for the new thing the Lord is doing in my life and the world. I have a sense that God's future engages our past in the present moment creating the opportunity for change. So we always have hope!
For a long time my advent orientation led me to look beyond this world but the Christmas story reminds us of the Lord's commitment of love to this life and creation. The Word became flesh. Even Easter is about God's aim and intention. Moltmann referred to the resurrection of Jesus Christ as the radiance of the imminent dawn. The promise of Christmas and Easter is a new heaven and a new earth in which the things of this life will not be lost but transformed.
Each new day is a gift that holds promise and hope. The love of Jesus rises to meet us. The Spirit leads us to the verge ...
