Peace and Joy

The last Sunday of Advent and for 2020.

The four traditional advent themes for the four advent Sundays are:

  • God’s people -The Candle of Hope. Hope is like a light shining in a dark place. …
  • The old testament prophets – The Candle of Peace. …
  • John the Baptist – The Candle of Love. …
  • Mary the mother of Jesus – The Candle of Joy.

The fourth candle of Advent is called the “Angel Candle” and symbolizes peace. This name comes from the fact that the angels announced that Jesus came to bring peace (Luke 2:14). This week we are reminded that Jesus came to bring peace to our hearts and to our world!

Isaiah 9:6

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
