Sunday Gathering
For the past three weeks we have been looking at Isaiah 9:1-7 ... specifically verse 6. We have discovered that there is going to be a baby born and that child would be given the names of; Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD, Everlasting Father and today we will see Him as our Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:1-7 NIV
Peace can be defined in a number of ways; "the well-arranged soul" "completeness" "my heart sits down" "a song in my body." But for the Christian, our peace is not found in a dictionary or defined by individuals, our peace is found in the person of JESUS CHRIST.
The Hebrew words for Prince of Peace is - Sar Shalom.
- Sar meaning; ruler, leader, governor, king.
- Shalom ... Peace, amends made
