Will We Accept God's Redemption and Peace?

The prophet Isaiah recognized Jesus as Prince of Peace 700 years before God sent him to be our Messiah. In Isaiah’s day war seemed imminent, and uncertainty festered in the hearts of the people. Today is not much different, but  Jesus, who is our Prince of Peace, calms our hearts and gives us assurance.

God sent Jesus into the world to redeem, to save mankind. As we allow Jesus to redeem us, he becomes our Prince of Peace, which seems incomprehensible, but we know we’re being rescued as we receive his joy and peace. “Joy to the world the Lord is come!” Let us praise God for this Christmas Day. Merry Christmas! May God bless you.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder. These will be his royal titles: … “The Prince of Peace.”

~Isaiah 9:6 The Living Bible

“This very day in David’s town your Savior was born – Christ the Lord!” …Suddenly a great army of heaven’s angels appeared with the angel, singing praises to God: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom he is pleased!”

~Luke 2:11,13-14 Good News Bible 

“Blessed be the Lord God,… because he has visited us and brought redemption to his people…Our God is merciful and tender. He will cause the bright dawn of salvation to rise on us and to shine from heaven … to guide our steps into the path of peace.”

~Luke 1:68,78-79 Amplified Bible/Good News Bible
