In Advent, we celebrate the arrival of Jesus. But in the midst of Christmas celebrations, we can forget a simple, essential truth: Jesus came because we need Him.

Advent is about the light of the world breaking into the darkness—not after the darkness is gone, but right in the middle of it. The same is true today. Jesus comes to us in the reality of our lives, not in some idealized version of them.

In waiting and disappointment, he offers hope. In chaos and anxiety, he brings peace. In sorrow and emptiness, he surprises us with joy. And, in all things, he is love.

If you find yourself longing for the presence of Jesus in real life more than the sentimentality of the holiday season, I invite you to open the Scriptures and encounter afresh the light of the world. Advent is for all who need it.
