How To Make Peace | Christmas Eve


Listen Later

Are you looking to make peace with those around you? The Bible tells us that on the first Christmas, the angels proclaimed peace on Earth when Jesus was born (Luke 2). However, today’s world is filled with conflict, making peace seem impossible. While we can't always make peace in the world, we can make peace in our homes and relationships by following Jesus' example. Jesus shows us how to have peace with God and others, teaching us that being a true Christian means actively making peace, not just avoiding conflict.

Here are five steps to making peace:

  1. Make the First Move: Don’t wait for others to fix things; take the initiative. Jesus teaches that reconciliation is more important than even worship 

  2. Start with What’s My Fault: Instead of blaming others, begin by acknowledging your own mistakes. This helps humble you and opens the door for peace.

  3. Confess My Blind Spots: We all have weaknesses we can’t see. Recognize and admit your own faults before pointing out others' faults.

  4. Wrap the Truth in Love: When speaking truth, do so with kindness and empathy. The way you say something is just as important as what you say.

  5. Focus on Reconciliation, Not Resolution: Reconciliation is about restoring peace, even if you don’t agree on everything. It's more important to preserve the relationship than to resolve every disagreement.

  6. This Christmas, commit to making peace in your relationships, following Jesus’ example of reconciliation.

    Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas to find out why peace is important and how you can have it with those around you.
