In his travels with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, Scrooge comes face-to-face with his finitude. We all have fear about the unknowns in our futures, but we can rest in the fact that God holds the future in God’s hands, and that God is committed to us. The birth of Jesus proves God’s love and pursuit of us, and so we can accept God’s invitation and live confidently in the face of the unknown.
This week’s sermon encourages us to let go of fear over the future and to trust in a God who was, is, and is to come. Because of his great gift to us, we can accept his invitation of redemption, and live in that reality during the Advent season and throughout the year.
