The Christ Candle: Advent 5

On this, the 5th day of advent, we remember the Christ Child. Read the full story of Jesus in Luke 1-2.

Rejoice! Worship and give thanks! Long ago, a Child was born, a horn of salvation for us from the house of David. Jesus, the Messiah, God made flesh. For all of us.

Happy birthday, Jesus! Thank You for being clothed in humanity for our benefit. You came because You loved us, will always love us.

Hallelujah! Sing with joy and great adoration!

Let our hearts celebrate the birth of Jesus.

The Wise Men Candle: Advent 4

On this, the 4th Sunday of advent, we consider the wise men, otherwise called the Magi. It was not on a whim they traveled long distances to find the One who was born King of the Jews. Studiers of the stars, they discovered one very special star announcing the birth of a king. The King. So they set out seeking He who was heralded by the Star. Matthew 2:1-12 tells the rest of the story.

The Magi came prepared to worship and honor the new King, placing gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh at the foot of the Child. Gifts fit for a King. Oh, my heart, what gift can I place at the feet of the King?

Let us prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

The Shepherds and Angels Candle: Advent 3

On this, the 3rd day of advent, we take a peek into God’s birth announcement. Luke 2:8-20 gives the full account.

With great exultation, He sent angels to share the good news of Jesus’ birth with shepherds who were out in the fields watching over their flocks.

Even though they had cold and lonely jobs and were considered to be low on the societal scale of popularity, the shepherds were the first ones to see and hear God’s announcement of the birth of His Son. To add icing to the birthday cake, God’s messengers, His angels, filled the sky with the brilliant joy-filled news and praise music!

The shepherds believed the news and rushed to see this Babe lying in a manger. Oh, to believe and seek the Messiah.

Let us prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
