Yesterday I was reminded of advent weeks I spent at Grace City Church back in NZ. My pastor has Anglican background so we normally gather together to sing hymns, prays, commit ourselves to the Lord, read scriptures waiting week after week (for 4 weeks) until the Christ candle being lit on Christmas day. Observing advent helps to prepare our hearts for Christmas. A chance to identify ourselves with the Israelites during the waiting period, full of expectation and longing to the coming of the Messiah, the promised One who will bring salvation and redemption.
May the Lord help us to wait.
