Advent Candles
The Prophecy/Promise Candle (candle #1)
We thank God for His Word and what it tells about Him and His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
The Scriptures not only tell us about the birth of the Messiah, but of those who lived by faith and waited for the promised Messiah, the Old Testament told of the one who would be born - born for a specific purpose.
As we light this first candle, we remember the Word of God and the promises of a coming Messiah and why He would come.
In the Garden of Eden, God said:
The angel of the Lord explained to Joseph:
The prophet Isaiah told the people of his day of the coming Messiah.
Picking up on the those words from Isaiah, Christ testified that He was that light.
Jn 8:
One of the Psalmists commented on the blessedness of those recognize the Messiah, the light of the world and rejoice in Him.
