Advent of Peace | Peace unlike any other
Have you experienced 'perfect peace' in your thought life?
In Week two of our Advent Series, we look to the arrival of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. The Bible tells us in Isaiah that those whose minds are set on the Lord will be kept in perfect peace. Imagine that, PERFECT PEACE!
The Nativity of Jesus and Mary's role is no different. At first, Mary thought upon the Angel Gabriel's greeting and was troubled by the introduction. "Greetings favoured woman, the Lord is with you", but through conversation with the Angel Gabriel, hearing out the Lord's plan for her role as mother to Jesus, Mary's perspective changed and she was filled with perfect peace (v.38).
The promise of scripture as spoken through the prophets applied also to her. As her mind was focused on the plan of the Lord to overshadow her and empower her for her role as vessel for the Messiah to be born, her mind was equally kept in perfect peace. "Let it be done to be, according to your word".
Peace in the Lord! Uniquely and totally set apart. Just as the birth of Christ and the mother's role was totally set-apart.
On this side of the Nativity story, all Christians are filled with the anointing power of the Holy Spirit and can encounter a similar peace, as we look to the scriptures and trust in God's perfect plan for our lives..
