The Jesus Effect — Advent Week 5: The Christ Candle | Jesus, Light of the World

On this special Christmas Eve episode of The Jesus Effect, we come to the center of the Advent story — the lighting of the Christ Candle.

After weeks of reflecting on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, we now celebrate the fulfillment of God’s promise: Jesus has come — the Light of the World.

In this episode, Steve McLane walks us through the meaning of the Christ Candle and reminds us that the Light who entered the world in a manger still shines today — breaking through darkness, guiding our steps, and shining through our lives.

Whether you’re listening on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and receive the hope of Emmanuel — God with us. And as we celebrate the birth of Christ, we’re reminded that as long as we have Jesus, we truly have all we will ever need.

Light has come. Love has come. Hope has come.
And His name is Jesus.
