The Birth of Jesus Christ Brings True Peace to the World
This Christmas season, let the church of God spread the good news that the birth of Jesus Christ brings true peace to the world.
The Christmas season is a time for good news!
The birth of Jesus Christ was prophesied countless times in the Old Testament before it was recorded by the writers of the four New Testament Gospels. Isaiah made a clear prediction eight centuries before Jesus was born: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6). This prophecy makes it clear that God is intervening in the world directly, and the baby born is God Almighty, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, full of glory and wisdom.
The New Testament gospel records that at the birth of Jesus, an angel announced the good news with the words, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:10-12). Jesus was born to save the world. He came to give everyone the chance to hear the good news and become children of God.
In this turbulent world, people need to hear the gospel of peace. Jesus Christ promised, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27). This Christmas season, let the Church of God spread the good news that the birth of Jesus Christ brings true peace to the world.
