Today’s
#AdventWord is #Prepare
I
prepare most of the meals in our household. Tonight, I am preparing an
aubergine curry. It will have all the beautiful flavour of aubergine, but it
won’t look anything like what I begin with. We will never return the aubergine
to its original state. As we wait with God in Advent, we are being prepared for
Christ’s return. But God does not come to make us a smoother, silkier version
of our current state; God comes to transform us. At the resurrection, we will
not be recognisable, physically, any more than an oak tree looks like an acorn;
but we will be known. There is both discontinuity and continuity—and that work
begins now, in this life.
