An Advent Meditation – Awaiting the Christ Child
Advent is around the corner – starting November 30th, so I thought I would share a video with you that I have been meditating on for the last couple of days, and one that I plan to medidate on throughout the season of Advent. This video was made by Christine Sine, over at Godspace.
Words From Video
In this Advent season we await the coming of Christ
Child of promise come,
Revealer of God come,
Bringer of life come,
Come to the beaten and the battered,
Come to the despised and rejected
Come to all in whom the divine image is still distorted
We wait in joyful expectation.
Come not as an distant emperor but as a helpless babe
Come not as a prince in a gold palace, but as a displaced and frightened refugee
Come not as a man of power, but in love and compassion
Come to those outcast like shepherds in the field
Come to foreigners like Magi watching from afar
Come to rich and poor, young and old, male and female,
We wait in hopeful anticipation
Come to bless all creation with your love
Come to bring salvation on the earth
Come to rule with justice and in peace
Come Child of promise, open the windows of our hearts
Come Christ of compassion, open the doors of our homes
Come Prince of Peace, open the pathways to our lives
We wait with all the peoples of the earth
Child of hope we welcome your coming
Christ of life we welcome your coming
King of glory we welcome your coming

Christine,
This video has been an inspiration for me, thanks for making it.
Thank you jr for sharing this meditation video. very rich and good to prepare myself
for the coming advent. Very confronting though with all the mess around in the world.Almost a too big of a task to carry on a human shoulder .How we are in need of this message of hope.

Sonja,
I’m glad that it is meaningful for you. And I think it has a great balance of confronting us with realty, the reality of what it, and the reality and need on His coming.
