Living Between Two Worlds
One day, Jesus will return to finish what he started on Easter. But until that day, we are anxiously waiting for the old world of Sin and Death to pass away and for God's new, restored creation to become fully. Through Jesus' resurrection it's already here, but until the Second Coming, it's not yet finished! How do we live in the space between Easter and the Second Coming?

In a world increasingly divided and hopeless, even something as simple as respectful disagreement seems impossible. But the prophets who taught Israel how to long for the birth of the Messiah made bold promises: weapons formed into gardening tools; wolves and sheep living in harmony; deserts blooming. Such promises seem impossible – like pure imaginative fiction. But God’s promises aren’t fiction. They’re a future God is bringing into existence. Jesus birth proves God is with us, that God is working. We can have purified imaginations, see the world as it will be, and begin to work for that world now. What does it mean to be a people of Advent?
