Begin At The End

In the season of Advent, we are invited to “begin at the end” and to stay awake as our hope and expectation grows for the coming of Christ, just as the light on our Advent wreathes grows week by week. Being able to be still and meditate on the coming of Christ which goes against the grain of the culture of the Christmas season around us. What is your posture right now in this season of preparation, in this season of advent?

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
