The Christ Candle

First we light the candle for HOPE because Jesus is our hope.  Second, we light the candle for PEACE because Jesus is our hope and peace.  Third, we light the candle for JOY because Jesus brings joy.  Fourth, we light he candle for LOVE because Jesus is love.*

Finally, we light the CHRIST candle.  
Jesus is born.  Jesus has come.  Jesus is our salvation.

“For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” —Isaiah 9:6-7
