The answer and solution the world did not know it needed came quietly, by birth—introduced as Peace. And in our world today, we carry the hope and assurance that even when chaos is visibly present all around us, Peace is never absent. Peace is a choice we make daily, and a partnership we enter into. For though we are in the world, we are not of the world (John 17:16). Through spiritual rebirth, we have become a people of Peace— through the Prince of Peace, Jesus. A people who live through Peace, are preserved by Peace, and exist in Peace to reveal the love of the Father.
The world looked on and thought, another child is born today. But eternity knew—Peace is being birthed into the world. She did not yet know it, but humanity would either be better in life or worse in death by its choice to receive Peace or to reject Him. And heaven smiled down upon the earth as a testimony of the covenant of a Father’s love toward His children—a kiss upon the heart of His own. Peace was born, and Peace cried out, squealing, Yahweh saves. Salvation is here.
For many, Christmas this year may have arrived carrying loneliness, weariness, or quiet despair—making it difficult to fully resonate with the warmth of invitations and the familiar sounds of celebration. Personal experiences can sometimes place us just outside the joy we see others sharing.
Yet in a red envelope, sealed and signed, Emmanuel extends a gracious invitation—and for those who could not make it the last time, a re-invitation. Long ago, heaven delivered an ultimate invitation to you, and it still stands. Even more beautifully, it comes with the assurance of love, grace, and abiding presence—to come, dine, and celebrate with Peace.
So today and this holiday, I pray you honour the invitation—to encounter the Person of Peace, to receive the gospel of peace, and to experience the power of Peace as you dine in great company of a “Jesus is the Reason” themed gathering.” In the busyness of winning and dining, when He draws near in the quiet of the night, do not turn Him away. Let Him take you by the hand and lead your heart to a Great Banquet. It is out of this world I’ll tell ya!—and so worth it.
Amid the wholesome gatherings, shared pictures, and heartfelt messages that seek to capture the meaning and depth of Christmas, Peace is gently whispering: I am here. I love you. No matter your circumstances. Signed – Your Prince of Peace.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year❤️
Peace upon the earth and unto you and your family.
Love, T.
