Advent 1 - Wonderful Counselor
Dec 1, 2024 • Matt Atkins
How many of you were able to see the aurora borealis in 2023 or 2024?
When you see something like that, or hear an incredible piece of music, or watch a beautiful sunset from an ocean beach, what goes through your mind and being? Do you speak? What do you wonder about? What do you long for?
This Sunday is the beginning of Advent, the season of the year where we let ourselves dive into the wonder of anticipation, and the anticipation of wonder. This is the Messianic longing that has filled the hearts of Jews and Christians alike. For though we believe that Jesus IS the Messiah, we still wait for the day when the world will be filled with the promised Messianic shalom.
And so we wait....and wonder....
