The message of scripture is not just that God created, nor that creation was sullied. The message of scripture is that God figured out a way to newly create what was lost. And to ultimately bring, by renewing creation, back on track to the original dream that He had. Where He would not only be in human life, but He would actually be with us. ….His rescue plan had a name – Jesus!
Advent is the time when we stop and reflect and think about the reality that God found a way to break into a world that was broken – broken by our own devices. Instead of abandoning us, He chose to reconnect with us. The celebration of Advent not only thinks about the fact that Jesus came. It has a view to the fact that He is coming back. We are in some way in-between what He has already done, what He is going to do, what is, and what will be.
In Matthew 16, Jesus is talking to his disciples and He asks “ who do folks say that the son of man is?” Later He asks them, “who do you say that I am?” This question, “who is Jesus,” has been wrestled with for two thousand years During this season of Advent it’s appropriate to ask – who is Jesus Christ? Who do you say that He is?
