2nd Sunday in Advent - Dec.6
The Second Sunday of Advent
Reading: Luke 2: 1-7
A census is when the government counts all of the people. The people needed to go to the town where they were born to be counted. Joseph was living in a town called Nazareth that is in the country of Galilee, but Joseph was born in a town called Bethlehem in the country of Judea. The book of Luke was written by Luke and he tells of when Joseph and Mary had to go to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born.
“In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.., and everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem, the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in cloths and placed Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”
Light the candle of HOPE. Then today, the second Sunday in Advent, we light the candle of LOVE (purple).
Pray together
“Thank you Lord, for sending Jesus to us so that we would know how much You LOVE us. Help us show Your LOVE to everyone we meet.”
