b"The Prince of Peace\\n\\nSaturday, December 12, 2020\\n\\nby Dr. Paul Chappell\\n\\nFor unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.\\n\\nIsaiah 9:6\\u20137\\n\\nOur world is certainly in need of peace. There are wars and conflicts and battles constantly raging. One of the attributes of Christ and one of the promises He brings is peace. Because He is the Prince of Peace, He provides us with what we have no other means of\\xa0obtaining.\\n\\nJesus offers us\\xa0\\u201cpeace from God\\u201d\\xa0(Romans 1:7). This is a peace unlike anything known by the world. Such peace is a gift bestowed upon us through His grace. Jesus offers us\\xa0\\u201cpeace with God\\u201d\\xa0(Romans 5:1). This is the peace that comes from having our sins covered in His blood and His wrath and condemnation turned away from our lives forever. Jesus offers us\\xa0\\u201cthe peace of God\\u201d\\xa0(Philippians 4:7). This is the peace that calms our fears and allows us to trust and obey even during the storms of life.\\n\\nOf course, the entire world will never know peace until Jesus returns. But we who are His children and are already part of His Kingdom can enjoy peace in our daily lives. Because of the coming of Jesus into the world, and His promises to us, we can have peace regardless of our circumstances. Is the peace of God ruling your heart today? If not, spend time with your Prince of Peace and allow Him to comfort your heart in a way only He\\xa0can.\\n\\nToday's Growth Principle:\\xa0\\n\\nRejoice today in the wonderful peace that only comes when we know and walk with the Prince of Peace."
