COT: Our brothers Ocho and Kick Flip have been talking about Advent on Slack, urging us to discuss it with our families. What is Advent? For Christians it is the four weeks before Christmas and it represents the waiting for the coming of Christ. But it is more complex and significant than that. It isn’t all about Christmas lights and getting gifts for others while we wait, although those are certainly nice things. Advent represents a yearning for change in the recognition that all is not right with the world. The American Writer and Anglican Priest, Tish Warren, states we need to lean into the ache of Advent, recognizing that the world, racked with conflict, violence, suffering and darkness, needs change. We need a savior. And Christmas represents the coming of that Savior.

COT:

“When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners. Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭ 6-8‬

There is nothing that you could ever do to make God love you less, and there is nothing that you could ever do to make God love you more. Let me repeat that.
