Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another? The Jewish leaders said no. You, Jesus, are not the one. The Romans said no. We have our own gods. But for twenty centuries now, the Church has answered yes! Jesus is the one. Jesus in the one who was, who is, and who is to come. And the Church has taken this message into the world. That is our joy this day. And so we lit the rose-colored candle on the Advent Wreath -- the joy candle. To remind us that the answer to John's question -- are you the coming one? is a resounding, yes!
