In this season of Advent, we remember that the birth of Jesus wasn’t just a sentimental moment—it was the arrival of the long-promised King. For centuries God’s people waited, hoping for the One who would rescue and redeem. Yet when He finally came, many missed Him because He didn’t arrive the way they expected. As we look closer at the carols we sing—like What Child Is This?—we’re reminded that Christmas points us straight toward the cross, where this promised Savior completed the work He came to do. Advent teaches us to wait with hope, not just for a holiday, but for a Savior who truly changes everything.
