Advent - Peace
Our focus on the 2nd Sunday of Advent is peace, something for which the world longs. The good news of great joy is that the arrival of the Lord Jesus Christ will establish long awaited peace with God (Luke 2:14). And His prophesied second advent will usher in a kingdom of peace, ruled by the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6 - 7).
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
Join us today as we study this text, seeking to understand the nature of God's peace and how it has been achieved.
