Advent is about waking up to the reality that Christ is continually coming into our lives and the cosmos. It speaks to an ongoing process in which the Spirit of Jesus breathes his life into us and shapes us into his image. The challenge we face is that we lose sight of this truth as we are blinded by the gods of our age and distracted by the idols that we worship. As such, there is a need to awaken spiritually and receive Christ’s unfolding work of hope and presence.
