Advent: A Season of God's Peace

In the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, it's easy to lose sight of the peace that Christ offers. Advent is a special time in the church year to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Lord, reflecting on hope, love, joy, and peace. The peace of Christ, as foretold by the prophet Micah and fulfilled through Jesus' sacrifice, is not just a future promise but a present reality for those who believe. This peace, rooted in the new covenant, is eternal and unchanging, regardless of our circumstances. The church plays a vital role in helping us experience and maintain this peace, equipping us to share it with the world. By embracing the peace of Christ, we can transform our families, workplaces, and communities, bringing comfort and hope in a world filled with unrest. As we approach Christmas, let's focus on the peace that Christ brings, creating moments of stillness to reflect on His peace and sharing it with those around us.

“Let’s look for Jesus in these last few days of Advent—these moments, these weeks, and even these months ahead into the new year, even in the tough times...look for his peace.”
