It seems to me that the emphasis of the announcement of the birth of Jesus is salvation. Jesus means ‘savior’. The emphasis from the actual birth is peace in chapter two (vs. 14). Salvation and peace should go together. Picture thousands (?) of angels crying out, “Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth…” Even though war, conflict, and struggles would continue, Jesus brought the opportunity to have peace in your heart.
How about you? Have you found the peace that God brings? May you enjoy the presence of God in your life today and may it bring you peace.

I want to thank you for inviting all congregants to participate in this Tim. I have been struggling to keep up a "reading" daily. I just become bogged down and give it up eventually. I like getting online and seeing what others have to say. I can say that I do enjoy the peace that God brings and have enjoyed God's presence in my life today.
ReplyDeleteThe angels proclaimed a deeper, more satisfing, lasting peace than anything earthly. A true peace of mind made possible only by the Lord.
