Of Waiting and Wonder

Dec 3

For well over a thousand years, God’s people shared stories about what it might be like to meet their unseen God face to face. Prophets came and went, telling of a new kingdom, a bright light, a Prince of Peace, a messiah to be born of a virgin.
Then, there was silence—400 years of it. The waiting would cause some to fall away and others to lean on these old promises even more.

Finally, though, it would come time to prepare for the arrival of this wonder of wonders. The King of heaven himself would soon be born in a lowly manger, a child coming into the world to fulfill all waiting and all wonder.
