A Candlelit
Service
by
Barbara Philbrook
A candlelit
service commemorating Jesus' birth,
reminding us of why He came to this Earth.
Bringing to mind
once again the salvation story,
and why we hold our Heavenly Father in such Glory.
Giving us each a
chance to refresh our memory,
of what Jesus did for you and for me.
Showing us just
one more time,
that we serve a Father whose love is sublime.
Giving those who
haven't yet invited Him in,
another offer of a new life to begin.
Introducing
those who may not have yet heard,
the remarkable truth found in God's Holy Word.
This is the time
that once each year,
we celebrate God's love for sending Jesus here.
We remember
Jesus coming to live on Earth,
for sinful souls who had no worth.
Leaving His
Father there on the throne,
coming to be rejected and subjected to pain never before
known.
Knowing those He
came for would His love betray,
and yet loving so deeply He came anyway.
So once again we
gather together and unite,
as we honor God with theses candles of light.
This candlelit
service is our way to say,
"Thank You Dear Jesus for being born that day".
