Day 25 1 John 4:10

Christmas Eve  December 24 

Light the White candle in the center of the wreath. Then light the remaining 4 candles. This White candle also known at the "Christ Candle" represents the life of Christ. Jesus is the light of the world. It's location in the center of the wreath reminds us that Christ's light is central and radiant. The color white represents purity and reminds us that Jesus is the spotless Lamb of God, sent to wash away our sins. 

John 8:12 (ASV)
Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 


1 John 4:10

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 





Happy Birthday Jesus

Week 4 Day 24 Galatians 4:4-5

December 23, 2014

 Light the third purple candle, then the first 3 candles.  
This last purple candle represents Peace. Jesus is the Prince of Peace and has come to give us peace.

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.


This candle is also known as the "Angels Candle". 


Galatians 4:4-5

4. But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
