How the Message of Advent Speaks to Our Political Moment
Jim Wallis

In the Christian tradition, Advent is a four-week time of
waiting, longing, yearning for the Christ who is soon coming.

Advent began on Sunday and will continue until Christmas. In
Advent, we are to turn our thoughts to the meaning of Christ's
coming and the deep significance of the season for followers of
Jesus. I would go so far as to say that Advent and Christmas are
my favorite liturgical seasons because they demand that we do the
work to prepare our hearts to answer this question: What does it
truly mean that God came and lived as one of us in our world to
show us God's way? The incarnation was the beginning of the
Jesus movement to change the world.

How do we wait for Christ this year, in this both liturgical
and, yes, political season that are both timeless and timely amid
the moral, religious, and political crisis our nation and world
are facing?
