Advent Week 2 – PEACE! – Church Public

“Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright. Round yon virgin, mother and Child, Holy Infant so tender and mild, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.”

Week 2 of Advent here at Church Public.

This week we are talking about Peace. The peace of Christ. The peace that Jesus brings that ONLY comes from him. Advent is a traditional Christian practice that reminds us how much we need our Savior Jesus Christ. The word Advent means ‘visit’ or ‘arrival’.

Today we look for the Peace of God in this world. This practice of Advent is a weekly reminder marking the arrival of Jesus into this world and looking forward to the day he comes again. We all long for peace, but there is sadly so little of it. Wars in the Middle East. War in China with Hong Kong and Taiwan. Then there’s political unrest of the last couple years in America. Not to mention all the fear from the virus.

But for the believer we know that Jesus IS our peace. Only in Christ can we actually have peace. The Advent message of peace is all about Christ. Jesus brings peace to all areas of our lives, but so many today just want peace without God.
