This is the first day of Advent. This week, each night,
light the Prophecy Candle.
December
1- Anticipation
It’s the first week of Advent so we light the first candle.
It’s called the Prophesy candle. A Prophesy is an announcement about the
future.
There are many prophesies about Jesus in the Bible. Did you
know that Jesus is mentioned or alluded to in every book of the Bible? This
week, we will be reading some of the amazing prophecies about Jesus. The
prophesies allowed the Jewish people to anticipate and hope for Jesus’ arrival
even more than we anticipate Christmas! Here are some examples of their
anticipation:
For a child is born to
us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he
will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace. His government and its peace will
never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his
ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of
Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! Isaiah
9:6-7 (NLT)
Listen! It’s the voice
of someone shouting, “Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a
straight highway through the wasteland for our God! Isaiah 40:3 (NLT)
Let all that I am wait
quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my
salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:5-6 (NLT)
