Today, we light the first candle of the Advent wreath, the Prophecy Candle. It reminds us of the hope God’s people held as they awaited the Messiah, and the hope we hold now as we await His return. “The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah.” (Jeremiah 33:14)As we begin this season of Advent, we look forward with faith and expectation, trusting that Christ, our Righteous Savior, will come again in glory.
