Second Sunday of Advent - Peace
When you consider the hustle and bustle of Christmas, peace may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But it’s important to pause and consider this gift of peace that God gives us in His Son Jesus. In fact, He wants to give us peace at all times in every way (2 Thessalonians 3:16)—that’s a big promise! So take a breath, invite God’s peace into your home and heart. Lay your burdens at His feet and trust that He’s fighting battles on your behalf.
The Second Candle, called the Bethlehem Candle, symbolizes peace and preparation, reflecting Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem and the peace that Christ’s birth brings.
“For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.”—Isaiah 9:6
