Christmas @ First: Peace

This is the time of year when our lives can be filled with busyness, frustration, worry, and disagreements. God’s Word tells us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace. It tells us angels reassured the terrified shepherds by bringing them news of great joy. Why, then, are we worried and frustrated?

Now is the time for stillness rather than busyness, blessing rather than frustration, peace rather than worry, and unity rather than disagreements. It is also the time of year when we should focus on the birth of Jesus because that birth brought everything we need.
