The word Advent simply means “coming,” and in Advent, we celebrate the fact that God comes to you. You don’t have to go to Him, He comes to you. He came 2,000 years ago when He was born in Bethlehem; He is coming again in glory to judge the living and the dead; and He continues to come to us today through His Word and Sacraments. It is on Palm Sunday, when Jesus rides into Jerusalem, that we really get a glimpse as to what this good King has come to do.
