Beacon of Peace (Second Sunday of Advent)

Posted on by

From Romans 15:12-13:  “And again Isaiah says, ‘The root of Jesse shall come, the one who rises to rule the gentiles; in him the gentiles shall hope.’  May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Longing for inner peace

Patience fills every heart

Shepherds wonder this night

Spirit’s goodness imparts

 

Viewing Bethlehem’s peace

Mercy nestled with love

Deliverance of light

Precious to God above

 

Raising harmony’s peace

Root of Jesse shall bring

Spring of living waters

Hope abounds, joy will sing

 

Hearing God’s voice of peace

Salvation’s breath of light

Messiah’s truth to come

Angels now taking flight

 

Shining beacon of peace

Heaven’s intent descends

Hope wakens in stable

Love invites joy, God sends

From Psalm 72:12-13:  “For He delivers the needy when they call, the poor and those who have no helper.  He has pity on the weak and the needy and saves the lives of the needy.”

  7. The shepherds are one of my favorite parts of the Christmas story. Ordinary people doing ordinary things when suddenly the sky lit up and angels appeared. I can only imagine what that must have been like!

    • Blessings Vickie. Your vision of the shepherds outside of Bethlehem is a glowing testament of God using ordinary people like ourselves to communicate to others. I agree that to be with those shepherds would a transforming experience, just as it was for them.
