There are three different kinds of peace that most people seek ...
Every Christmas season reminds us of the great desire that every
true believer in God has for Peace on Earth
as more than two-billion people around the world celebrate
the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
Regrettably, however, it seems that the world
is spinning out of control ever-faster as evil increasingly
imposes itself in the world.
The hard reality is that there will never be any real solution to the
accelerating march of evil in the world until the Prince of
Peace lives in the hearts of all of mankind.
The second kind of peace that people desire is peace within
their family and within all interpersonal relationships.
This also is possible only if and when
people make the choice to embrace the Lordship of Yeshua-Jesus in their individual lives.
The third kind of peace that people desire is that indescribably
amazing inner peace that surpasses all understanding ...
and again, that is possible only as a gift
that is freely given by the Holy Spirit to anyone and everyone
who will simply accept God's invitation to join His family and
choose to follow the Prince of Peace
in honor of whose name we celebrate Christmas. For He has said,
Peace I leave with you.
My peace I give to you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your heart be troubled and do not
let it be afraid. ~John 14:27
Do you have peace? You can receive it freely,
and when you do, you receive the very best Christmas gift ever given:
the gift of peace and eternal life.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the children of God. ~Matthew 5:9
