Advent: Peace 2008
What we need with God is shalom. We need peace with Him. We need our hearts to raise the white flag and surrender. We need the war between us to end. And that is exactly what Jesus was sent here to accomplish for us. He came as the ultimate olive branch. He came as the dove of God. He came as the very Prince of Peace. Since this is the case, what we see today is that it isn’t so much a need for God to prove His love to you more than He has by sending the gift of His Son, but our learning of and understanding what He’s done for us brings us this peace. In other words, the more you realize that God’s favor rests upon you (v. 14), the more you’ll experience peace. The favor of the only eyes in the universe that matter is calling you to great joy at this good news. God desires that we would join the angels in crying out to God, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace.†And we could finish this by saying, “because God’s favor rests on us—on me!â€
