Christmas has a special message in it for those whose lives are not characterized by joy and triumph. Christmas carries a message of hope for those whose lives are filled with despair.
Jesus took our place so that we might receive peace.
God gets all the glory and gives us all the peace we need.
God is pleased when we receive and walk in the one who’s come to be our Savior and our Lord.
Peace isn’t found in the absence of problems, peace is found in the presence of God.
When we find peace in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ we should share the good news of that experience with whomever we can.
God wants us to take his presence into our environments to reflect his peace.
Peace often feels like a dream. In Christ peace is a reality.
