What I want for Christmas... I want everyone to get along

Wouldn’t it be great if we all could get along?  I don’t mean just “not hit others,” I mean truly get along: accept each other, disagree agreeably, and care for each other regardless of the differences.  Our best efforts tend to fail; it seems like it might take an ‘act of God’ for it to happen!

 

Surprisingly, God has acted to bring this about!  If you were asked what you wanted for Christmas, and you said, “I just want everyone to get along,” it might interest you to know that is one of the things God intended to bring about through the Christmas story:

 

Our scripture comes from Luke 2:8-15

 

“Peace on earth” What does this mean? What can it mean, if we take the story of Jesus seriously? The “Peace” Christ can bring real joy to our lives:

 

• Forgiveness for one’s sins and failures, and the ability to move on.
• Self-Control
• Inner calm

 

One other thing – there is also a purely spiritual dimension of God’s peace – and that is the peace we can have with God himself!
