In this message, Andrew teaches that true peace is not the fragile calm created by controlling circumstances but the deep, resilient shalom that comes from attachment to Jesus. The contrast between “the peace the world gives” and the peace Jesus gives runs throughout the message: worldly peace depends on control, escape, or improved circumstances, while biblical peace flows from salvation, God’s presence, and trust in His faithfulness. Mary’s song in Luke 1 becomes the model of whole-person shalom—her body, mind, and spirit rejoicing in God despite poverty, vulnerability, and uncertainty. Mary's peace is grounded in identity (“the Lord’s servant”), God’s mercy across generations, and confidence that God is restoring the world. Attempts to manufacture peace through optimization, avoidance, or lifestyle upgrades ultimately heighten anxiety, whereas Scripture and attachment theory agree that human beings require a safe, faithful presence—someone bigger, stronger, wiser, and consistently kind. Jesus fulfills that need as Immanuel and the Prince of Peace, making peace not a feeling but a person we attach to. The call is to relinquish self-secured peace, identify where control, escape, or circumstances still dominate, abstain from those strategies, and practice simple rhythms of connection with Jesus so that His peace—rather than the world’s—guards the heart.
