Christ candle:
We light four candles to prepare for
the coming of Christ: the candles of hope, love, joy, and peace. Today we light
the Christ candle. In Christ alone is our hope; he is love; he brings us joy;
and through him we know peace.
Jesus said, “I am the light of the
world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light
of life.” The flame of the Christ candle represents his eternal presence.
For centuries God’s people longed for the
promised redeemer. God kept his promise. The waiting and longing for a savior was
fulfilled in the birth of the baby Jesus.
O God, we praise you for the joy of his
birth. Our hope of a savior is realized through him. Help us walk in love and
let your peace rule in our hearts. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
