Advent (343)
  1. Lewis once pointed out that Christianity does not begin by telling us how to behave, but by telling us what is wrong.
  2. “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.” That word isn't just for Israel; it's also for you.
  3. As we hear what God is doing, we begin to realize how true freedom and joy in this life are not about managing our reality but, like Joseph, about faithfully receiving what God is doing.
  4. When God is truly present among us, how can we not, in turn, respond with love for Him?
  5. To know the cure is not to become immune to sorrow.
  6. Seek moments of silence, and use them to listen and ponder.
  7. Christianity doesn’t start with our speculation about God. It starts with God’s self-revelation.
  8. There is a hiddenness to the splendor of the Messianic reign and rule of God for now that will only be seen fully on the final day.
  9. Knowing the coming Judge as the one who endured for me changes the waiting of endurance into, indeed, a “we can hardly stand the wait.”
