The second week of Advent offers the gift of peace - but it's not the peace the world offers. At least, it's not the WAY of peace the world offers. Immanuel, God with Us, offers an everlasting peace through his presence and through forgiveness. Rather than using the tactics used by Caesar to attain peace--intimidation, violence, domination, fear, etc.--we're asked to follow in the way of Jesus in order to be agents of peace to a tumultuous world.
