THE MESSAGE OF PEACE

As we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ during this Advent season, let us reflect on Acts 10:36, which says, "You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all."

This verse reminds us that the message of peace is central to the good news of Jesus Christ. As the Prince of Peace, Jesus came to bring reconciliation and harmony to a world in need. His peace is not just the absence of conflict but a profound sense of well-being and wholeness (shalom) that comes from being in right relationship with God.

During Advent, we are invited to embrace this peace and share it with others. In a world often filled with anxiety and strife, the peace of Christ offers a refuge and a source of strength. It is a peace that transcends circumstances and fills our hearts with hope and joy.

As we journey through Advent, let us remember that the good news of peace is for everyone. Let us be ambassadors of this peace, spreading the message of God's love and reconciliation to all we encounter. Let us celebrate the gift of peace that Jesus brings and commit to being instruments of His peace in our world.

May the peace of Christ dwell richly in our hearts and overflow to those around us.
