From the Outside (Third Thursday in Advent)

Then comes Advent, with all its happy memories for us…. Life in a prison cell may well be compared to Advent: one waits, hopes, and does this, that, or the other — things that are really of no consequence — the door is shut, and can only be opened from the outside.

Letter from Dietrich Bonhoeffer to Eberhard Bethge
November 21, 1943 from Tegel prison

Psalm 62:5-8

Each day of Advent, we will post here a brief meditation on the Coming of Christ; please come back throughout Advent for reflections, art, music, and more.
You’re invited to join us for worship on this Fourth Sunday of Advent: “Prepare for the Promise” at 11 am.
