Advent Week Four: PEACE

This past Sunday we lit the final purple candle of the Advent wreath which represents peace.
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
Once again we are reminded that all things, including peace, are from God and through God . To God be the glory (Romans 11:36)! Only Jesus Christ can give the peace that passes all understanding. (Philippians 4:7) Have you experienced it? I have. In the midst of some of the worst circumstances in my life, there was the Prince of Peace.

Tonight we will light the final candle! The largest, center candle. It is pure white which represents the sinless, spotless, pure Savior that was born in the flesh, lived in the flesh and died in the flesh all to bring us peace by making us pure. But that is not the end of the story! He has become the center in our lives so we may take the very same peace to the people around us. Go tell someone the Good News!
