Advent doesn’t begin with twinkle lights and hot chocolate. It begins in the dark. In this message, Chris traces the story from Eden to Exile—through Cain and Lamech, the flood and Babel, Israel and Babylon—to show a repeated pattern: autonomy, fracture, exile… and surprising grace.
This first week of Advent names the ache: the world is not as it should be, and neither are we. But into that long history of human failure, God comes near. Jesus steps into the pattern and breaks it from the inside—absorbing violence, reversing revenge, surrendering where Adam grasped.
With Pentecost as the great reversal of Babel, we see how the Spirit now writes a new pattern in us: surrender instead of autonomy, honesty instead of hiding, love instead of violence, bearing the name of Jesus instead of making a name for ourselves. Advent hope isn’t optimism; it’s a Person. The light has come, the light is coming, and the light now lives in you.
