“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.’” (Luke 2:13–14 NIV)
On that first Christmas night, the world was hushed in holy wonder. In the stillness of Bethlehem, heaven broke into earth with the cry of a newborn child -- the Savior of the world. The beloved “Silent Night” captures this paradox: a quiet, ordinary setting transformed by the extraordinary presence of God.
The carol reminds us that peace is not found in noise or grandeur, but in the humble manger where Christ was laid. The silence of that night was filled with divine glory, as angels proclaimed peace and shepherds knelt in awe.
Christmas Eve invites us to pause in the midst of our busyness, to let the silence speak, and to hear again the message of hope: God is with us. In Christ, the holy breaks into the ordinary, and peace enters our restless hearts.
Take time tonight to quiet your heart and reflect on God’s presence. Let the Prince of Peace calm your anxieties and fill you with joy. Just as the shepherds spread the news, carry Christ’s peace into your family and community.
