This morning we will lit the second Advent Candle, the Candle of Bethlehem. The Bethlehem Candle reminds us that God can relate to us in all circumstances. As he promised, the Messiah came to us wrapped in human flesh and laid in a simple manger in Bethlehem. This truth communicates hope based on the knowledge that God is willing to meet us anytime and anywhere. When he comes, he meets our needs.
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting (Micah 5:2, NKJV).”
