Description

The First Sunday of Advent

Jeremiah 33.14–16
1 Thessalonians 3.9–13
Luke 21.25–36

The point of Advent is to learn God’s characteristics so as to recognize him when he comes, not to be so armoured against life that we never really experience anything...

Taken from Lectionary Reflections Year C by Jane Williams
