FIRST CANDLE - The Prophecy Candle or Candle of Hope
The Old Testament spoke of the coming of Christ, of how a Savior would be born, a king in the line of King David. We can have hope because God is faithful and will keep the promises made to us. Our hope comes from God. It is rooted in the covenant relationship that exists between God and humanity.
“Isaiah says, ‘The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him.’ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 15:12-13
