The Peace of Christ's Coming

Peace...something we all want personally and internationally, but it seems so elusive. Maybe we need to listen to the Prophet Isaiah who speaks about the darkness of this world (Isaiah 8:20b-22) but also talks about the coming of Light (Isaiah 9:1-2)... and Peace (Isaiah 9:5-7a). Jesus' Sermon on the Mount tells us that peace comes through: Proactive Prayer (Matthew 5:43-44; 6:5-14), Aggressive Compassion (Matthew 5:38-41), and Unshakeable Trust (Matthew 6:33-34). Ultimately, Jesus wants us to experience peace in a way that the world does not know nor understand (John 14:27).
