As Christmas draws near, the words “peace” and “joy” turn up everywhere. Yet it often seems the world is anything but peaceful or full of joy. Tight budgets. Family feuds. Global uncertainty.

Not too unlike the first Christmas two thousand years ago. And yet, God broke through the chaos with a bold proclamation: “Peace! Peace on earth. Good will to men”

This Christmas story reminds us that in the midst of noise, interruptions, too-thin paychecks, and family unrest, God gives us peace. When your world is at war… peace. When the stock market crashes… peace. When a promise is broken… peace.

Are your nights not-so-silent? Then I encourage you to remember the angel’s words to the startled shepherds: peace. For that night, the Savior of the world was born in Bethlehem. So in the midst of holiday busyness, disturbing news reports, and changing relationships, I hope you’ll take a moment to receive God’s greatest gift. The Prince of Peace: Jesus. When we receive him as our Savior, his peace is born in our hearts.
