1st SUNDAY OF ADVENT – NOVEMBER 28, 2021
Rev. Denise Clark-Jones

“COMINGS AND GOINGS”

Today we celebrate the first Sunday in Advent. Advent is Latin for “coming.” On our Advent Wreath, we will light the candle of hope, which commemorates the longing of Israel for the Kingdom of God. Jeremiah prophesies centuries before Jesus’ birth that a Savior will come from God, out of the line of David. Paul calls the Thessalonian church to live in love and holiness as they await the return of Christ. In Luke’s Gospel, we hear a description of the “Son of Man coming in a cloud” and a promise that the kingdom of God is drawing near. That promise was answered in the infant Jesus, Emmanuel – God-With-Us. Jesus prophesies the signs that will accompany his return and urges us to wait expectantly.
