Sermon Scripture: Luke 1:68-79 (NRSV)

Peace comes from the Hebrew word “Shalom” which means wholeness or harmony. We can experience this peace in our personal lives through connection with God, ourselves, and others. But we can also think about peace on a broader scale and ask questions like,  “How peace is experienced in the world?” 

Shalom in the world points us to things like the end of war, violence, hatred, and division. The prophet Isaiah, in thinking about the coming Messiah, described this person as the “Prince of Peace.” Christ is the one who would be capable of bringing personal peace to our lives, as well as peace to the world at large. 

As a sign of God’s rule in our lives we strive to be at peace with one another. We also strive to work for peace in the world.
