Advent Devotion: Anticipating Renewal
December 4th, 2008 · Posted in Advent Devotions, Christianity, The Church Year · 0 Comments
The past few years I have — from time to time — posted devotions from Goshen College during Advent and Lent that I find particularly meaningful.
Today’s devotion struck me as a wonderful reminder of the renewal that is ours through Christ. It’s based on 2 Peter 3:8-15 and entitled “Anticipating Renewal”.
Here is an excerpt:
Advent is a time of anticipation. I look forward to the coming season with the beauty of the winter, of family gatherings and a break from the every day. I realize, though, that for multiple reasons, many do not have these positive images of the Christmas season. One thing that brings me hope is that this season calls us to a higher sense of being and purpose. No matter what our images of Christmas, together we can look forward to a renewal of God’s message to us: Jesus.
