The Candle of Prophecy Urges Us To Listen

Well, everyone came to the table and calmed down just enough to listen but have fun while we celebrated the very first Sunday of Advent 2007. The first candle to be lit is the Prophecy Candle. The Prophecy candle urges us to listen. Usually the word "prophecy" is used to mean the foretelling of something, but commonly in the Bible is used to simply mean the proclaiming of God's word. Now. He still has alot to say to us. God has so much to say to us that His "Word became flesh and dwelt among us" so that he could say in person. After we read our devotion and scripture, we sang a few songs... "The Johnny Appleseed Prayer", "Jesus Loves the Little Children", "Away in a Manger", "Joy To the World", and "Jingle Bell Rock", Amy Grant style of course. We crunched our popcorn, we drank our hot chocolate, we prayed, and now everyone is in bed. Life is good.

If you were God and wanted to tell mankind something and had only one sentence to do so - what would it be?
