Peace in His Time

His name shall be called ‘Prince of Peace’.” Isaiah 9:6
Across the street from the United Nations there is a large wall containing this verse, “They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:4) What they need to add to that wall is the verse “Unto us a Child is born, a Son is given, and His name shall be called, ‘Prince of Peace’.” Without the second verse the first verse is impossible. Think of how many millions of people have been killed in war since the founding of the United Nations. Look at how many conflicts rage today.
There is only one peace giver and that is Jesus Christ. He gives peace of heart and soul to those who believe in Him. He also promises to give peace to the earth when He reigns as King. He alone can overcome all the hatred of men, their jealousies and presumptions. He alone can bring peace for He is indeed the one and only, “Prince of Peace”.

Dear Father, Thank You for the peace that comes through Jesus. Amen.
