Luke 1:46-56
Leading up to Christmas, we will rejoice in the great gift that is ours in Jesus Christ. To help us celebrate, we will be lighting the candles of the Advent wreath. The candles signify that Jesus is the Light of the World. The evergreens remind us that He is life and brings life to us. All these are arranged in a circle because life in Christ has no end. Each Sunday we will light an additional candle. On Christmas Eve, we will light all the candles, including the center one, the Christ candle.
As we do, we will rejoice that Christ has come to us.
He is Immanuel…God with us.
