LIGHT A CANDLE TO HONOR THE FATHER – First Child
First Child reads these following scriptures:
"Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to visit his people and has redeemed them. He is sending us a Mighty Savior from the royal line of his servant David, just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago – someone to save us from our enemies, from all who hate us." Luke 1:71
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder. These will be his royal titles: ’Wonderful,’ ‘Counselor,’ ‘The mighty God,’ ‘The Everlasting Father,’ ‘The Prince of Peace.’ His ever-expanding, peaceful government will never end. He will rule with perfect fairness and justice from the throne of his father David, He will bring true justice and peace to all the nations of the world. This is going to happen because the Lord of heaven’s armies has dedicated himself to do it!" Isaiah 9:6-7
