It's always tough waiting for the big reveal...
It's always tough waiting for the big reveal. Think about the tense moments on television as the audience awaits the winner of American Idol or Survivor. Or we wait to see who our favorite NFL team will pick in the college draft. Or we wait for that amazing new movie we've heard so much about. In those moments, we have no idea what's coming next.
In Advent, however, we know what the reveal is. We wait with baited breath for the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is still a difficult wait, but we have his Spirit to sustain us until then (v. 8).
