JESUS IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE

 JESUS IS THE PRINCE OF PEACE 

TEXT: “...And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace…”   Isaiah 9:6

Names reveal character and character reveals the person. Jesus Christ is called the Prince of Peace. The peace that he came to give was spiritual peace. It is peace between God and man. And it involves the reconciliation of sinful man to a holy God.

The angelic multitude sang at His birth “Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, goodwill toward men.”  Luke 2:14

Sin always brings war, alienation, destruction and death. Sin puts man at odds with God; sin makes man an enemy of God; sin separates man from God; and sin, left alone will bring eternal death and destruction.

Jesus took upon Himself human flesh and became a man in order to bring about peace between God and man. He tore down that barrier, that wall of sin that separated sinful man from holy God. Therefore, we read in Ephesians 2:14  that “For He Himself is our peace.”

He doesn’t come so much to give peace but He, Jesus, is our peace!

He gives us Himself and He becomes our peace.

The peace of a forgiven sinner.

The peace of a new life.

The peace of brotherly love.

Real peace. Genuine peace. 

Everlasting peace only at the Second Coming of Christ!
