Opening Prayer
Triune God, you live and reign forever, world without end.
Scripture
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon
his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. -Isaiah 9:6
Reflection
Holy Spirit, kindle the flame of our faith. Grow us in Faithfulness. May we embrace and ever hold fast to the blessed hope of everlasting life.
Prayer
Oh majestic Lord of Hosts, Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, we turn our eyes to you.
As prophecy comes into full fruition and you become incarnate we stand in complete awe of you- King Jesus.
To us, you are born; the Great Light piecing the dark, dim, desperate world.
You shatter all darkness replacing it with joy and incomprehensible hope.
A new Kingdom is born! A dominion of perfect peace from the imperfect line of David.
The past of sin, injustice and despair replaced with the increased of righteousness, justice, and redemption.
Stunningly in the humble form of a baby, backed with all power and authority of Heaven.
What an unimaginable miracle to our finite minds!
This Christmas Eve we remember the greatest gift of you, King Jesus.
The salvation, and sacrifice of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us.
Fix our gaze and affections forever in you.
Receive our praise and deepest admiration, Name Above All Names, Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Closing Prayer
Behold we are the servants of the Lord. Let it be to us according to your word. May we rest in the peace that the darkness can never extinguish the light that has been given to us.
