The third candle reminds us that we too are to go into the world proclaiming to the world the Savior, which is Christ the Lord. The fourth purple candle is the Angels candle which represents love and the final coming of Christ. The angel candle brings us hope of heaven and reminds us that Jesus Christ will return in glory to judge the quick and the dead. Angels are created beings in service to God and are eternally in His holy presence. Angels minister to man as well.
Angels are real and present in our world.
The fourth candle reminds us of our duty in the present world, as we look with great joy and anticipation to the Second Coming of our Lord. We, as Christians, are called to walk in the light. As believers in Christ we stand secure in the hope of eternity. The white candle reminds us of the pure and sinless life of Jesus. The Advent wreath is a symbol of the promise of everlasting life, that like a circle will have no end.
