The message of Joy and Peace go hand in hand for where there is true joy there will be peace and where there is peace there will be joy. The peace that Jesus gives us is a different kind of peace than that which the world seeks. The world views peace as a lull between the storms or a cease-fire during a war. Its that period of time where everything is calm, that state of mutual harmony being free from any strife or dissention whether it be on a personal or national level. This type of peace is at the mercy of the uncontrollable and ever-changing circumstances around us. This type of peace suggests the absence of something. However, the peace that the bible talks about is not the absence of something but rather the presence of something... JESUS. True Peace is found in Jesus and He came to us as a little baby born in a stable in Bethlehem some 2000 years ago. Jesus brought Peace with Him back then and He is still bringing peace today. This Christmas, may you experience the true peace that comes from a personal relationship with God through Jesus.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)
