How can this season be more than just “the time waiting for Easter”? What does it mean to wait in joyful anticipation for the Good News of Easter, both on Easter Sunday and the Good News of Jesus’ transforming presence in every hard day in this broken world?

I reflected earlier this month on stillness during this Advent season, which often is a season full of parties, events, concerts and consumerism that induces frenzied activity. In this final week of Advent, I return to the question: What does it mean to stop and rest and truly be in Christ’s presence?
