Today we light the Angel's Candle on the Advent Wreath, illuminating the Power of Christ's future return.
Remember the true, real impact of Christmas! It's the incarnation of God in Christ!
Angels play and played a significant role in Christ's life. They ministered to Him at the cradle, the cross, and Revelation describes their role at His future coronation.
At His cradle angels revealed His purpose, ministry.
"An angel of the Lord appeared...suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests.'" Luke 2:9ff
At His cross angels were at His call to release Him. "Jesus said, 'Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?'" Matthew 26:53; Isaiah 53; Hebrews 12:1-3, 1:14
At His coronation angels will revere, celebrate Him. "Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand..." Revelation 5:9ff
Do you believe the Christ of the cradle, the cross & the crown?
