The Prince of Peace is Born
Today's Reading: Luke 2:11, Isaiah 9:6,7
"For there is born to you this day...
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Glory to God in the Highest
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men."
Luke 2:11
"For unto us a child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be
upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful,
Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and
peace there will be no end.
Upon the throne of David and
over His kingdom, to order it
and establish it
with judgment and justice.
From that time forward, even forever."
Isaiah 9:6,7
In this world for the last 2,000 years since the coming of the Prince of Peace; there has been times of peace and times of war and strife. Right now in 2020, there is very little if any peace in America right now. The division is the strongest I have ever seen it. So when I look at the verse above: "Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men." I think, how can this be? Christ, the Prince of Peace has come. Why is there so much strife in our country and our world? An old familiar Christmas carol keeps coming to mind. Here is one of the many poignant verses:
"I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
This is the theme for this week. The Prince of Peace is Born. How does this apply in the day and age we live in? Stay tuned and more will come.
