The 
Wai(ng 
Room
Wai(ng 
(me 
is 
Wasted 
(me.
When 
we’re 
wai(ng: 
• We 
resent 
others 
• We 
race 
ahead 
• We 
rage 
at 
God
God: 
Why 
me? 
Where 
are 
you? 
What’s 
the 
point? 
Don’t 
you 
love 
me?
Advent: 
The 
Church’s 
Wai(ng 
Room.
John 
the 
Bap(st
“When 
John 
heard 
in 
prison 
what 
the 
Messiah 
was 
doing, 
he 
sent 
word 
by 
his 
disciples…” 
MaIhew 
11:2
“And 
they 
said 
to 
him, 
‘Are 
you 
the 
one 
who 
is 
to 
come, 
or 
are 
we 
to 
wait 
for 
another?” 
MaIhew 
11:3
“When 
Jesus 
heard 
that 
John 
had 
been 
put 
in 
prison, 
he 
withdrew 
to 
Galilee.” 
MaIhew 
4:12
“When 
Jesus 
heard 
that 
John 
had 
been 
put 
in 
prison, 
he 
withdrew 
to 
Galilee.” 
MaIhew 
4:12
“Jesus 
answered 
them, 
“Go 
and 
tell 
John 
what 
you 
hear 
and 
see: 
the 
blind 
receive 
their 
sight, 
the 
lame 
walk, 
MaIhew 
11:4
“the 
lepers 
are 
cleansed, 
the 
deaf 
hear, 
the 
dead 
are 
raised, 
and 
the 
poor 
have 
good 
news 
brought 
to 
them.” 
MaIhew 
11:5
When 
we’re 
awai(n’, 
God 
ain’t 
a 
ha(n’.
Even 
when 
we 
wait, 
God’s 
love 
is 
s(ll 
great.
“And 
blessed 
is 
anyone 
who 
takes 
no 
offense 
at 
me.”
When 
the 
wai(ng 
is 
rough, 
is 
God’s 
love 
enough?
