This Sunday, we light the second candle, the John the Baptist candle which symbolizes Peace.
John preached a message of repentance and preparation to receive the Messiah, the Prince of Peace. 

Matthew 3:11 says, “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.  He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” May we be filled with God’s Shalom Peace which only He can give.
