Jesus came as the prince of peace - not simply to stop conflict internally or externally, but to restore us back to wholeness.

John 14:27 Printable Outline: 12-8-24 Sermon audio: 12-8-24 class=”mce_SELRES_start”>
We may recognize peace symbols and awards like the Nobel Peace Prize, yet the world remains full of conflict, with major wars raging. The Bible's concept of peace, shalom, is deeper than just the absence of conflict; it's the restoration of our relationship with God. C.S. Lewis argued that the true meaning of Christmas is often buried under sentimentality, but at its heart, Christmas is about reconciliation between humanity and God. As the angels proclaimed at Jesus' birth, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased.” This peace is available not through human efforts but through Christ's forgiveness, bridging the gap between us and God. Jesus is our peace with God. Romans 5:1 reminds us that, “since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” It is not a matter of being “good enough” but trusting in Jesus' sacrifice for us. Our biggest problem—separation from God—has been solved through Christ's death and resurrection. This peace then frees us to pursue harmony in our relationships with others. In the first century, Christianity united Jews and Gentiles, breaking down walls of hostility and forming a new community in Christ. Paul encouraged the early church to live at peace with one another, reminding them that all are welcome in God's family. Like others, soon you will gather with your family. It's not always what you dream it would be. We need help! Knowing we are on good terms with God allows us to become like Jesus. We can model His attitude of humility that brought us peace with our Creator. Consider approaching your loved ones with kindness, patience, and a willingness to forgive. You can't control others, but you can change the room temperature by setting aside differences, overlooking offenses, and showing compassion. "If possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." Romans 12:18 This is made possible when you approach people with the mindset of Jesus. We have peace with God and peace with others, and through Christ, we can also be at peace with ourselves. When Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you,” He offered us a lasting peace not dependent on external circumstances. This peace helps us face life's challenges with the security of knowing we are loved by God. It's not the absence of hardship, but the presence of God with us that enables us to experience peace amid life's storms. By grounding our hope in Him, we gain a peace the world cannot give, a peace that endures all things.
Heavenly Father, my peace is at a low but your peace over me is deep and bountiful. Scripture: Luke 2:13-14
