Peace On Christmas Day


“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!”
-heavenly hosts
Luke 2:14 in the Berean Study Bible Version

Christmas

On Christmas Day, believers come together for fun, food and gifts.

On the birth of Christ, there was a celebration in heaven and on earth.

Nine months prior, with the Holy Spirit coming upon Mary, heaven came down gift-wrapped in human flesh. His Name is Jesus.

Gift

In Him was the Word who spoke the universe into existence. In Him was the Light who is the Way. In Him is the Truth which the human mind cannot completely wrap itself around, unless through the guidance of the Spirit of God. 

Love

In Him is the Fruit of God's Love. Jesus is Love in human form. He is The Christmas Gift who we need to receive.

Angels from heaven came down to announce to the lowliest of men -- shepherds, out in a field that a great and joyful event meant for everybody for all time has occured -- The Savior has just been born in the City of David, The Messiah, The Lord of Lords and The King of Kings.

The angels told them that The Baby, God's Gift will be lying in a manger.

And then the angels sang

Glory to God in the highest heaven.

And on earth, peace to all on whom His favor rests. In other translations, to all whom He is pleased.

Today, on Christmas Day, we whom God's favor rests on and we whom God is pleased with rejoices because like the shepherds, someone told us about Jesus and we went to see Him, we investigated and we believed.

Peace

God's peace is ours today and everyday, not the kind of peace the world knows and longs for, but real peace, the peace that puts the broken pieces of our life back together again, making us whole and a new creation.

Shalom.



Let us receive God's peace today.
