The Candle of God's Peace

In the Old Testament we find the beautiful Hebrew word, shalom. Shalom is the expression of the desire for the very best for a person. For the Christian this is the wish for a person to know Jesus. The Christ follower knows the highest desire, the ultimate good, THE Shalom is the presence of Christ which brings persistent peace. We understand that peace is not what is outside and around us but rather that true peace is Christ in us. As we've come to the close of the second week of Advent - we light the peace candle.  We thank God for our Christ and wish each other Shalom.

(together in Christ we light the Peace candle)

BLESSED Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning; Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace, and ever hold fast, the blessed hope of everlasting life, which thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

Isaiah 42:16 "And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them."
