The word \u201cAdvent\u201d might mean \u201cto come,\u201d but this season feels like it\u2019s all about waiting. I recall as a kid, waiting for Christmas, waiting for the decorations, waiting for the tree, waiting for our stockings, waiting for Santa. Eternal waiting.<\/p>\n

Advent says that we know what we\u2019re waiting for. The coming of God\u2019s Son. The ultimate proof of God\u2019s love for us<\/a>. The One who showed us in His coming how we are all the children of God.<\/p>\n

As I write this, my wife and I eagerly await the arrival of a second grandson due any day now. (By the time you read this, that baby might be here on earth cradled in his mother\u2019s arms.)<\/p>\n

The thing about having children is that you never know exactly what to expect.<\/a> The doctors can tell you whether it\u2019s a boy or a girl. You can see in a sonogram what that baby in the womb looks like. You can think of what you were like as a kid and project all sorts of expectations.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s no telling how that baby will turn out. My wife and I are both writers.<\/a> Word people. Who would have guessed that our eldest son, William, would be such a math whiz? Where did that come from?<\/p>\n

In high school our second son, Timothy, looked like he\u2019d be a rock star. He had the hair for it. And the demeanor. Who would have guessed that he would hear a call for the ministry and is now attending seminary?<\/p>\n

Well, maybe there were hints. One of his favorite Bible verses as a kid was \u201cI am the alpha and omega\u2026\u201d a reference to first and last letters in the Greek alphabet (Revelation 21:6). He\u2019d ask me to read it to him from my Bible.<\/p>\n

These days he tells me what he\u2019s learned in his Greek class, translations of some of the original Greek from the gospels. <\/p>\n

The angel Gabriel came to Mary and told her what she should expect.<\/a> \u201cYou will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob\u2019s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.\u201d (Luke 1:31-33)<\/p>\n

If you heard words like that, wouldn\u2019t you be ready to put on your fancy clothes? Wouldn\u2019t you expect your child to live in a castle, wear a crown and sit on a throne? Mary didn\u2019t know yet what kind of kingdom her Son would bring.<\/p>\n

All of this is to say, my prayers at Advent are ones of expectation. Something\u2019s coming. <\/a>Something big, something bigger than I could ever guess. I wait and I pray.<\/p>\n
