THE SECOND ADVENT “The Love of the Gospel Message” Scriptural Reference: John 3:16-17 Introduction of the Advent The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival." The word refers to the four-week period leading up to Christmas. Thus, in Christian theology the word refers to the coming or arrival of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Historically, the primary color of the Advent is Purple which is the color of penitence and fasting as well as the color of royalty to welcome the Advent of a King. This concept points to the importance of the connection between Jesus’ birth and his death. Jesus’ incarnation cannot be separated from his crucifixion. The purpose of Jesus’ coming into the world was not only to reveal God’s grace to mankind through the life and teaching, but also through his suffering, death, and resurrection. The advent is broken up into four weeks with each week representing a distinct focus or thought: Hope, Love, Joy, & Peace. The shift from purple to pink on the third Sunday advent candle emphases a turn from penitence to celebration within the season. The focus of the entire season is to commemorate the birth of Christ in his first coming and the anticipation of Christ in his return. The second candle represents the love of the message that the gospel brings. In the dispensation before the coming of Christ, the prophets looked forward to His coming with love. Now, because of the atoning work of Christ, we have love for the salvation from sin and death as we look forward to his return. “The Love of the Gospel” Scripture Refence: John 3:16-17 v.16 For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. v.17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. ~ We Fit Health & Wellness, Pathway To Peace, New Beginning Ministry Incorporated, Ministries!
