God's Gift: Peacemaking in the Presence of Discord

Why is Jesus called the Prince of Peace? Jesus is the Prince of Peace because through him we have peace with God. The name Prince of Peace means “one who removes all peace-disturbing factors and secures peace for us.” Luke 2:14 gives this declaration: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

As we take notice of the world around us, peace seems unattainable. Yet God calls us to be peacemakers, for “blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God.” So be kind to everyone, and the peace of God will be your gift as a peacemaker. Merry Christmas and God bless you!

God’s Kingdom consists of God’s approval and peace, as well as the joy that the Holy Spirit gives. The person who serves Christ with this in mind is pleasing to God and respected by people. So let’s pursue those things which bring peace and which are good for each other.

~Romans 14:17-19 God’s Word Translation

God's Gift: A Life with Peace in the Presence of Discord

Isaiah concluded Jesus would be called the Prince of Peace. A prince, especially an honored, highly respected prince, should occupy a special place in your heart and soul. Do not permit routines associated with Christmas to overshadow your devotion to the Prince of Peace and the Christmas message. 

God the Father longs to restore and rekindle in you the peace only he can give. This  precious gift can be received by opening your heart and soul to God’s generosity. Jesus is the giver of life – abundant life and eternal life – for those who are receptive to the most precious gift you will ever receive. Merry Christmas and God bless you!

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

~Isaiah 9:6 Christian Standard Bible

 

May the God of peace himself make you entirely pure and devoted to God; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept strong and blameless until that day when our Lord Jesus Christ comes back again. God, who called you to become his child, will do all this for you, just as he promised.

~1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 The Living Bible
