We sit between two advents. This places us with a unique vantage point that theologians call the “already/not yet.” The season of Advent is designed to highlight the tension that arises from this unique vantage point. Has prophecy already been fulfilled or is our hope delayed? And if it is delayed, does it make our hearts sick as the writer of Proverbs teaches? Should the first coming of Jesus give us hope because he has come or despair because the Kingdom has not been established? The answer to these questions are all in understanding our unique vantage point of God’s working in history.
