Between the Advents

Before the birth of Jesus, Israel eagerly awaited the Messiah—God’s return to them. His Advent brought the Kingdom of God closer, where hope, peace, joy, and love flourished among His followers. The book of Revelation foretells a second Advent, a final one, where Christ will return as promised, sent once more by God the Father. As we celebrate Christmas this year, let us focus on how we are called to live between the Advents. What hope, peace, joy, and love should we cultivate amidst a broken world? How does Revelation inspire us, just as it did those at the end of the first century, to remain faithful to the Kingdom of God?
