Advent: Hope

Advent is the season when we observe the arrival of Jesus Christ into the world. During this moment when hope may be hard to find, we anticipate the coming of Christ who came to offer hope, peace, joy, and love. In times of uncertainty, polarization, mental health concerns, and tragedy, Hope seems to be a faint pulse when we put it in our own hands, institutions, and leaders. However, the good news of advent offers us a hope that is substantial, unfailing, and alive.
