Friend: Advent Isn’t Over—We’re Still Waiting

Christmas comes and goes, but waiting remains.

We celebrate that Christ has come but we also confess that all is not yet made new. The light has dawned as shadows still linger. This is the tension of our Christian hope in our 21st-century, post-pandemic, age of AI, Trumpian America.

Advent teaches us how to live between promise and fulfillment.

We wait for healing.
We wait for justice.
We wait for restoration.
We wait for Christ to return.

It’s a kind of waiting that is not passive. It takes practice. We live as people who believe God keeps His promises even when the calendar moves on and hope seems bleaker by the minute.

Advent does not end on December 25th. It morphs into a new way of living.
