The Prince of Peace Brings Joy


            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Peace and joy are a part of God’s plan!

            The mission of Christ was to bring peace to the world.  That’s why God sent His Son to earth.  Out of His incomprehensible love for mankind….that’s you and me…He longed to transform our chaotic world into a world of His peace and love. That’s why Jesus was given the name “Prince of Peace”.  That spoke God’s mission clearly.  Jesus would be The One to serve as a “blanket of peace” to cover our less than peaceful world.

            When Jesus first appeared on this earth, born of the Virgin Mary and resting in a lowly manger…He didn’t have the surroundings usually associated with a prince.  But the angels of heaven announced His arrival with these words: “Glory to God in the highest, and earth peace, goodwill toward men.” (Luke 2:14)

This tiny baby was God’s plan for PEACE on earth.  It’s our job to allow Him to cultivate that peace in each of our hearts.  We can do that by:

·         Understanding what God’s peace means for us.
·         Asking for and truly desiring His peace with all our heart.
·         And then by DOING the things that open our hearts to accept it when it arrives. (David Jeremiah,  A Life Beyond Amazing)


May we invite the Prince of Peace to fill us completely with His love, peace and joy.
