Wow. Almost done, and the last candle probably captures the most well-known promise of Advent:

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2.13, 14, NKJV)

We’re not there yet, are we? But Jesus promised it:

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16.33, NKJV)
