from Isaiah 61:1-11
We are more than midway through the season of Advent. Christmas is fast approaching. We tend at this point to feel the crunch of preparing for that day on top of wrapping up the end of another year.
Last minute shopping, final preparations, wrapping gifts, party plans, time with family, and even unexpected guests…what is goal of Advent? What are we really preparing for? A few hours on Christmas morning? Then what? What is the finish line?
What if Advent was about more than preparing for one day, or one moment…what if Advent was about something more than Christmas?
What if Advent was about transformation?
