Last Sunday our focus was on peace. To hear the sermon click here. We talked about how in Isaiah 9 it says that a a child has been born to us, a son is given who will be called the Prince of Peace. We focused on how Jesus is that Son and promises us his peace in John 14:27. At the end of the service we invited everyone to accept Jesus and his peace.

Today’s post is a bit different. I don’t want to add anything to what was shared on Sunday at all. Today I simply want to remind you that if you need peace between yourself and God, others, or even who you are then accept Jesus’ gift of peace.

Peace is found in our connection with Christ. It is Jesus who is peace, and then when we connect to him peace flows in our lives.

How does Jesus create peace in our lives? I’m not sure. But what I do know is that it is his responsibility and promise to us. Our responsibility is simply to accept the gracious gift he gives to us in this Christmas season of his peace.

So today my challenge is to accept Jesus and his gift, and let it shape you.

And if you feel bold, or maybe peaceful, share with me how accepting his gift has given you peace…
