Advent means “arrival” or “coming”, and we are currently living between the advent of Jesus’ first coming and His promised return. During this time, we wait. To wait for something means to hope for it. Isaiah 7:14 says, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Too often, we associate waiting with boredom. Our culture is fast-paced, and we don’t have the patience to wait for much. Waiting often feels like a disservice or inconvenience, but there is so much good in waiting too. We learn the discipline of patience.
