Waiting in the Darkness | Carolyn Klassen | Light Up The Night
Update: 2022-04-01
Description
In the beginning, the earth was formless and void (TOHU wa BOHU). This was a chaotic and negative scene. In the ancient world, it was the type of land that was desolate and could not have order. God steps in and creates order. God speaks light to the chaotic darknesses and the result is peace (shalom) and the thriving of all creation. It was good and very good. But in an instant, all that changed as Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s good instruction. They took of the fruit and ate, and sin entered the world. Fellowship broken. Peace shattered. Creation thrown into chaos. Darkness, depravity, fear, shame, and selfishness flooded the human heart, and plunged us back into the darkness and towards a TOHU wa BOHU. The situation was dire. But, God promises that we would not be left alone in the dark. A rescuer would come who would speak order to our chaos. On the first Sunday of Advent 2021, we join the longing of all those waiting in the darkness for light to come.
