Lee on the Lectionary: 1st Sunday of Advent (Year C)

The beginning of Advent is upon us, the new liturgical year (Year C in the lectionary). Advent is a period of waiting and eager expectation in the Christian calendar. Strangely for many, however, we look forward at this point in the year not to Christmas and the celebration of the incarnation, but to the second coming of Christ in glory to judge the living and the dead.

Lee Gatiss expounds the Lectionary readings for the 1st Sunday of Advent (Year C), which are Jeremiah 33:14-16, 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13, and Luke 21:25-36.
