Scripture on Peace

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

And when Jesus was born…


Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Scripture reminds us that true peace comes from the Spirit of God dwelling within us.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Let us remember Christ’s birth, commemorate his death and resurrection, and anticipate his glorious return. May God grant us his perfect peace.
