As we approach the end of the year, many of us are feeling weary from grief and lament at witnessing the escalation of ongoing global conflicts that has lead to heartbreaking loss of life, safety, freedom and flourishing for so many people. As we continue to see systems that neglect to protect people and creation and listen deeply to the voices of those experiencing injustice our hearts long to see a Jesus-shaped justice flow across these lands so that there may be life in abundance for all.
Advent reflects the longing and tension we have in being present with the pain of injustice, whilst also holding and celebrating the victory and hope we have in Jesus Christ, God with us.
This Advent join us as we reflect on the life-giving, thirst quenching justice that Jesus brings. A justice overflowing with love and compassion, bringing forth hope, healing, nourishment and flourishing for all.
Please share this opportunity to celebrate and reflect together through this season of Advent with your networks and communities.
