During the Advent season leading up to Christmas, we reflect on the blessings that Jesus our Immanuel brought with His birth. In our fallen, violent world, it is easy to lose sight of the peace which Jesus’ birth promised – peace among men and most importantly peace between God and mankind. Yet we can trust that God always fulfills His promises in His perfect time and in His perfect way. So as we celebrate Jesus’ first coming into the world, we eagerly anticipate His return when He promises He will make all things new and establish His promised peace forever.
