Today marks the
beginning of Advent, which is a time of anticipation at what God is about to
bring about. In the passage from Jeremiah, the people of Israel are in a time
of waiting. Babylon has overthrown Jerusalem and all hope seems to be lost. But
the prophet gives them the hope filled vision of God’s promised future, which
will bring about a new beginning in a just society. As we consider the state of
our world today, the climate and chaos, we look forward in hopeful anticipation
to the new world Christ is bringing about.
