The Advent of Love

The Very Rev. Dr. Dan Alger
Written By The Very Rev. Canon Dr. Dan Alger

As we learned in our recent “Exiles” series on 1 Peter, we are God’s beloved people, living as exiles in the “already but not yet” of his return. One of the best ways to look forward in anticipation of our Lord’s glorious return is to look backward and remember how he has already come to his people. That is what we’ll do in this Advent series called “Prepare the Way.” We’ll spend time in the minor prophets who foretold of and prepared the people for the coming of our Savior and what that means for us as we wait for his return.

Scripture Reading: Malachi 3:1-5
