What does the future look like? An age old question…
Today, as we begin our preparation, we are reminded that, “About that time no one will know.” Our scripture was future focused and helped set the stage for where we are going in the future. Today’s readings helped remind us that what we are preparing for is a promise where God’s reign is realized. While we are firmly stuck in the middle, the time between God’s presence in the world and God’s presence that is promised in the future – the “now and the not yet”. Yet we are reminded that we have hope and an assurance, even in the midst of strife, that God will win and all will be well in the end. This Advent season remember to tell the world “God will come and things will be restored to a right relationship with God.”
