Those who learn to wait are uneasy about their way of life, but yet have seen a vision of greatness in the world of the future and are patiently waiting and expecting its fulfillment.
The celebration of Advent is possible only to those who are troubled in soul, who know themselves to be poor and imperfect, and who look forward to something greater to come. For these it is enough to wait in humbling fear until the Holy One himself comes down to us, God in the child in the manger. God comes. The Lord Jesus comes. Christmas comes. Christians rejoice!
d.b.
