Peace And Good Will

Even though we allow ourselves to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of Christmas, true believers understand something of the true meaning of Christmas.
  • We know that Jesus was God in human flesh.
  • We know that when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, God stepped out of eternity and entered time.
  • We know that Jesus was a great teacher, healer, and miracle worker.
  • We know that Jesus came to the earth to die for our sins on the cross.
  • We know that He rose again from the dead and ascended back to heaven to make intercession for His people and to prepare a place for us there.
  • We know that all of this, and more, is the true meaning of Christmas.
  • We know that the real gift of Christmas is Christ Himself, John 3:16.
Luke 2:13-14 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

The promise of peace and good will is yet to be delivered. The good news is that peace is coming. When Jesus returns to rule as King on earth the world will be dominated by His peace and good will and His perfect judgment.
