Dr. Randy Woodley, author and teacher, has said: Jesus, properly understood as shalom, coming into the world from the shalom community of the Trinity, is the intention of God’s once for-all mission. That is, the mission of birthing and restoring shalom to the world is in Christ, by Christ, and for the honor of Christ. That first Christmas marked the arrival of the Prince of Peace! Each subsequent one we commemorate and celebrate that arrival.
