What Mary Knew

December 12, 2021 | Ethan Smith

Series: Luke (Advent 2021 - Easter 2022)

Scripture: Luke 1:26-56

“He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words—‘Wait and Hope.’”

Alexander Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo

“In COVID-waiting, we’re anxious and pacing, or slumped over in despair. Our brows are furrowed, and we scroll for the latest information that reinforces what we already feel. Even the good news is tainted with grief for what we’ve lost and with concern for how long it will last. But in true Advent-waiting, our hearts are lifted, and our faces seek out the light even in the night. Advent waiting holds the promise of warmth and light and wholeness that pulls us forward through the heaviness of the world we wade through. That’s the hope we carry within us as believers, because of the reality of Christ’s incarnation and the promise of Christ’s return.”

Tiffanie Chan & Taylor Barnett

 “To be a Christian is to live every day of our lives in solidarity with those who sit in the darkness and in the shadow of death, but to live in the unshakable hope of those who expect the dawn.”

Fleming Rutledge, Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ
