Peace That Jesus Gives

Global Harvesters Full Gospel Church

Isaiah 9:6 (ESV) - “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.”


The world talks a lot about peace, but real peace feels harder than ever to find. We try to manage stress, avoid conflict, and control outcomes, yet our hearts often remain restless. The Bible reminds us why: peace is not something we create—it is something we receive.


Isaiah promised that a Child would be born and that His name shall be called Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). This tells us that peace is not just a feeling or an idea. Peace has a ruler. Peace has a source. Peace has a King.


The greatest conflict in our lives is not around us but within us—and ultimately between us and God. Sin breaks our relationship with Him, and brokenness flows into every part of life. That is why no amount of advice, effort, or positive thinking can give lasting peace. We need reconciliation.


Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came to do what we could never do. Through His death on the cross, He removed the barrier of sin and made peace possible. Scripture says, “Since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). Jesus does not merely talk about peace—He secures it.


When we are at peace with God, we are freed from fear, guilt, and striving. And as His peace rules our hearts, it begins to shape how we live and relate to others. Even when circumstances remain difficult, we can rest, knowing that the Prince of Peace reigns.


This Christmas, peace is not found in perfect situations but in trusting the One who rules over all things.

 Where in your life do you need to surrender control and allow the Prince of Peace to rule your heart today?


Prayer:

Lord Jesus, Prince of Peace, thank You for bringing peace between me and God through Your sacrifice. Quiet my anxious heart and teach me to trust Your rule. Let Your peace guard my heart and guide my words, actions, and relationships today. In Your name, Amen.
