DAY 17 OF 25

The Prince Of Peace's Message

This message of Peace from our Prince of Peace is one of reconciliation between God and man. This is pivotal to life and death; it has eternal consequences. It cost Jesus everything to leave His home in heaven, to identify with sinful humanity, and to bear the sins of the world. We have only to accept and agree that it is enough. The greatest Peace offering was Peace on the cross for us.

Our Prince of Peace lying in a stable, surrounded by poverty and humility, chose you over the riches of heaven in order to bring the riches of heaven to indwell you.

2 Corinthians 5:14-21 - Whatever we do, it is because Christ’s love controls (compels) us. Since we believe that Christ died for everyone, we also believe that we have all died to the old life we used to live. He died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live to please themselves. Instead, they will live to please Christ, who died and was raised for them. All this newness of life is from God, who brought us back to Himself through what Christ did. And God has given us the task of reconciling people to Him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. This is the wonderful message He has given us to tell others. We are Christ’s ambassadors, and God is using us to speak to you. We urge you, as though Christ Himself were here pleading with you, “Be reconciled to God!” For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

THIS is the message of reconciliation that began in a feeding trough. This is your Christmas message. Pray that as you live it out, you will also get to share it in words to many.
