Devotional
The Advent season is a time when we remind ourselves of the hope we have in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus is our hope and one of the main traditional ways we express hope this Advent season is through the lighting of a candle.
Symbolically, the candle represents that kernel of goodness in a world seemingly overwhelmed with evil and darkness. And yet, as tiny as a candle, its light becomes brighter because of the mighty hope we have in Jesus. When Jesus came onto this Earth, He was motivated by love and hope, and He rescued us from our hopelessness. That’s why I believe it’s very important that we as brothers and sisters in the body of Christ take the inspiration we find in the story of Jesus’ birth to heart and use it to help people find hope in Jesus.
