Adrienne and I have been reading through an Advent book this season...it was written by one of our pastors and is called Behold the Lamb of God. I guess I was anticipating a lot of stuff from the gospels, but we are on day 11 and we have been in the Old Testament the whole time. It has been great to see all of the stories pieced together...I forget that each of the stories of Adam and Isaac and Jacob and Moses are all connected with this common thread. And hearing them all brings new meaning to the season of advent...of waiting, anticipating, remembering, preparing and longing. As all these stories are unfolding you hear the promises that God gives the people and how they trusted and clung to the promise and waited. And how that applies to us even now, as we wait and anticipate and prepare and long.
