Our last and most important candle of the Advent wreath is in the center. It is white and represents Jesus, the Light of the world and the center of all things.
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” –John 8:12 (NASB)
Choose Jesus by faith, and live in His light. He is the Greatest Gift of all.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.–Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
Merry Christmas, friends, and thank you for being here.
