The Candle
We light this candle the Easter vigil service each year as a reminder that the light of Jesus has defeated the darkness of sin. Now if you notice, this candle isn't as tall as it was. What has happened to all that wax?

*THEY WILL ONLY SEE THE LIGHT OF HOPE. (AUTHOR UNKNOWN)
HIS LIGHT AM I TO SHINE WHERE HE SHALL SAY;
AND LAMPS ARE NOT FOR SUNNY ROOMS NOR FOR THE LIGHT OF DAY.
BUT FOR THE DARK PLACES OF THE EARTH,

The word Advent comes from the Latin word, “advenire”, conjugated as “adventus” which is a combination word of “ad” meaning, “to” or “toward” and “venire”, “come” which is conjugated as ventus, which means more specifically, “coming”. Combining them gets us literally, “toward the coming.” The
