Sunday of the Advent
Early in our journey through Great Lent we observed the
Sunday of the Expulsion, which retold the story of mankind’s first
disobedience, our exile from paradise, and the beginning of humanity’s long
history of separation from God.
In a nice expression of symmetry and resolution, Lent
concludes with the Sunday of the Advent (March 13): that is, the coming of
Jesus Christ, through whom God entered human history and restored what had been
lost in the exile from Eden.
The Advent calls to mind the birth and revelation of our
Savior, his subsequent sacrifice for mankind, and his victory over sin and
death. As the last Sunday of Lent, this day is especially devoted to the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ, reminding us that he is our eternal Lord and King, and
that just as everything once began with God, so too will everything one day end
with Him.
