Expect Peace
This week we celebrated the last Sunday of Advent! The Advent of Peace. Did you know that in all of recorded time, we have only been at peace 8% of the time? That is a mere 286 out of 3521 years! Not that great a record!! During that time over 8000 treaties have been broken. But is that the kind of peace that Jesus came to bring?!? In the words of Kevin McAlister, "I don't think so." True peace that Jesus brings is nothing like that. Let's take a look at what it means to have the kind of peace that Jesus brought. Our text comes from Matthew 1:18-25 and Isaiah 32-16-20.
