We light this candle to represent LOVE. God loved us so much he sent his only Son and
Christ loved us enough to come to earth and lay down is life so that all people
can be saved. Throughout the year we may
love others as Christ loves us.
LIGHT
THE Last PURPLE CANDLE
📖 For God so loved the
world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not
perish but have eternal life. For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the
world through him John 3:16-17
PRAYER
Our Lord God and gracious Father, we thank You for Your Son and the gift He was and is to all of us. “Lord in You our hearts rejoice, for we trust in Your holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You.” (from Psalm 21-22)
📖 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from
God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever
does not love does not know God, because God is love. This
is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the
world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved
us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved
us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love
one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we
know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the
Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If
anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and
they in God. And so we
know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever
lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will
have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like
Jesus. There is no
fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do
with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first
loved us. 1 John 4:7-19
AMEN?!
