Advent is here. And today, Jesus reminds us about the focus for this season. In Advent, we celebrate the One who was-born 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. We also celebrate the One who is-the one born in Word and Sacrament when we gather as the people of God. And we celebrate the One who is to come-Christ Jesus who is the King of all creation, Ruler of all, and Judge of all as we hear in the gospel today. We begin these four weeks of Advent focusing on Jesus, the One who was, who is, and who is to come as we prepare our lives and hearts to greet him at Christmas-and when he comes again at the end of time.
