December 7 th. Week 2 of Advent: The Peace Candle

When sin came into the world, everything was broken. With sin came death, pain, and suffering. God’s perfect creation was ruined and it was no longer whole. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, we celebrate the arrival of “shalom.” We celebrate the fulfillment of God’s plan to make things right. As the “Prince of Peace,” Jesus came to bring wholeness and completeness to this world. He set in motion God’s plan to return things as they were in The Beginning.

We still experience brokenness in our lives, but peace is possible. We will face problems and pain, but God is present with us and his peace is available to us. In John 14:27 Jesus says, “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” (NIV).
