The Promise of Hope
Dec 1, 2024 • Jared Ellsworth
Advent is a season of waiting and hope, reflecting on Christ’s first coming and His promised return. It invites us to pause, live in the tension of the “already” and “not yet” of God’s Kingdom, and trust in God’s plan even in uncertainty.
In Isaiah 64, we see Israel longing for God’s intervention—a longing we share today amidst life’s struggles. Advent reminds us to watch for God’s presence, hold onto hope rooted in His promises, and trust that He is faithful. As we wait, we do so with confidence: God is still at work.
