It's true that part of the tragedy of the late modern person is that we are waiting around for a God who isn't God at all, but is somebody more akin to Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. <br /><br />That's the trick of atheism; you convince yourself of a concept of God that nobody in their right mind could believe in and you're all set.<br /><br />The "tomorrow" when God promises to come isn't in time, but is the freshness and newness of life that is His presence.

This connection between "I will come tomorrow" and procrastination reminds me of Samuel Becket's "Waiting for Godot" where Vladimir and Estragon continually wait for the od who is always promising to come tomorrow and never does. I had not noticed before how that play was the antithesis of Christmas. <br /><br />How wonderful it is to know that the Root of Jesse does not delay, but comes as He promised, and that he stays with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
