Glory to God! The Prince of Peace is born! But this peace was different from what everyone had imagined. Instead of bringing an end to wars and earthly strife, Jesus came to be peace in the hearts and lives of those who would put their trust in Him. A peace that goes beyond the things of this present earth.
One day, Jesus will return to establish peace over all the earth, and for all eternity. It is through this peace that we will find full reconciliation with God‚—a gift of peace, that none of us deserve, but that the Prince of Peace longs to freely give us. So, we can pray peace upon the earth now, because we know that one day, Jesus will fulfill the promises in scripture and return as the one who brings peace that passes all understanding.
