As we enter into the final day of Advent, I'd like to share one way
some Christians view the Advent candles:
As we light the candles in our Advent wreath we remember the prep-
arations which God our Father made for the coming of his Son into
the world.
Our first candle reminds us of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, and David who
looked forward to the coming of Jesus.
Our second candle reminds us of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Micah
who told of the coming Messiah.
Our third candle reminds us of John the Baptist who came to prepare
the way for the Lord.
Our fourth candle reminds us of Mary who was obedient and became
the mother of Jesus.
(from Prayers for the People)
Blessings to you and yours as we draw near to Christmas!
