Advent is a season for waking up to all the
ways Christ comes to us. Yes, the themes of Advent help us celebrate and
commemorate his first coming in the Incarnation. They encourage us to
anticipate his second coming in glory—of course! But there is also such a thing
as the third coming of Christ: that is, all the ways in which Jesus comes to us
now, bringing light for our darkness, peace for our turmoil, hope for our fear.
