Journey to the End of the Earth: December 2008

ADVENT 2 – December 7, 2008

Advent means coming.

We are preparing for the full coming of God’s kingdom:

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world;

the one who follows me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life.”

We light these candles as a sign of the coming light of Christ. (light two candles)

The people who walked in darkness 

have seen a great light; 

those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, 

on them has light shined.

—Isaiah 9:2,

And I will lead the blind 

in a way that they do not know, 

in paths that they have not known 

I will guide them. 

I will turn the darkness before them into light,

the rough places into level ground. 

These are the things I do, 

and I do not forsake them.

—Isaiah 42:16,

Come, Lord Jesus, our light and our salvation.

Let us walk in the light of the Lord.
