This is the first Sunday of Advent. This time of year we reflect and
celebrate the arrival of Jesus. He came into the world not to judge it but
to renew it. The time leading up to his arrival was a dark one
characterized by rebellion, injustice and a longing for wholeness. In the
mist of this less than ideal scenario we read of Jesus’ coming as the one
who brings light into the darkness. He does this in our lives, he runs into
the darkness. His embodied presence and creative power means that we’re not
overtaken by it because his light shines on us. This is our hope and it
grows as we worship the One who can never be put out by the darkness.
