SECOND WEEK OF ADVENT
The Second Week of Advent is the week of Peace. This verse tells us that Jesus came to be the Prince of Peace. The word peace is the Hebrew word shalom which means completeness or well-being. Jesus did not come just to end wars, but to make us complete by saving us from our sinfulness.
Today, December 10th, is the Second Sunday of Advent. We light the second candle, which is the symbol of PEACE. The message is the same as John preached to the Jews: "Prepare by seeking forgiveness." What gets in the way of our appreciating God's gift of Jesus as Savior is that we have let idols clutter our lives as the Jews of old did.
Dear Lord,
Open our eyes to the people
You have specifically placed in our path
so that we can speak healing
and comfort to them.
Help us to prepare for the coming
of Your kingdom, together.
Amen.
