Hope

The Advent season begins in darkness—but that’s precisely where hope shines brightest. Like the early church, who reflected on Jesus’ arrival in a world of silence and hardship, we find hope not in denying the darkness but by staring it in the face. Advent reminds us that Jesus entered the world as light that no darkness can overcome. This hope isn’t rooted in perfect circumstances but in the promise that God is making all things new—even now. As we await His return, our hope endures. This season, pause, reflect, and embrace the hope that begins in the dark.
