What
does Christmas actually mean to you? What real importance does it hold in your
heart and soul? Is Christmas the time to be happy and joyful, eat good foods,
visit friends and family and give special gifts? What about those who can’t
reach such wonderful goals because obstacles seem insurmountable and permanent?
In
spite of these problems for living, powerful faith priorities can separate the
darkness from the light. These unique faith priorities say that only Jesus is
the source of light and peace. Even where there is grief and sorrow, Jesus came
to be the Prince of Peace, to heal the brokenhearted and be a comforter for
those who are alone. God bless you and keep you!
For to us a child is born, to us a son is
given,
And the government will be on his
shoulders.
And he will be called … Prince of Peace.
~Isaiah
9:6 New International Version
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 under the shadow of death, and to guide our
feet into the path of peace.
~Luke
1:78-79 Phillips – New Testament in
Modern English
At once the angel was joined by a huge
angelic choir singing God’s praises:
Glory to God in the heavenly heights,
Peace to all men and women on earth who please
him.
~Luke
2:13-14 The Message
The Lord gives perfect peace to those whose
faith is firm.
~Isaiah
26:3 Contemporary English Version
