This past Sunday marked the second Sunday of Advent. Many churches and families celebrate Advent by lighting a candle each week in an Advent wreath. Each candle represents a specific aspect of Jesus and His Ministry.
The second candle, the one that was lit last Sunday, is the Candle of Peace. It is a purple candle that symbolizes the perfect peace that Jesus gives each of His believers.
Jesus said, “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.” John 14:27
Since the beginning, Satan has been fighting against goodness, and humans have fought against God, making the earth a battleground. So, how do we find our peace in the midst of this?
