We often hear the words, “America is a country equally divided philosophically and politically.” There are some people who delight in that belief, for it provides a constant subject for conversation as well as fodder for news organizations to graze on and preserve an eager listening audience.
Can you imagine God listening to the world two millennia ago and deciding to send Jesus to establish peace and good will among the people? Gather up your courage and decide to be a peacemaker this Christmas, for there will be a moment specially designed for you to give the gift of peace even in the presence of discord. So be ready for the event. Merry Christmas and God bless you.
Because the heart of our God is full of mercy
towards us, the first light of Heaven shall come to visit us – to shine on
those who lie in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feet
into the path of peace.
~Luke 1:78-79 Phillips – New Testament in Modern English
God, who first ordered light to shine in
darkness, has flooded our hearts with his light, so that we can enlighten men
with the knowledge of the glory of God, as we see it in the face of Christ.
