Merry Christmas!

The word 'peace' is one the keywords that we get to see during Christmas season. I always thought that 'peace'occurs very frequently during Christmas because it is the ultimate wish of all human beings. However, this Christmas I have learnt to appreciate the word 'peaçe'from a slightly different angle, that the word 'peace'is not so much of a wish, but a proclamation.

"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility..."Eph2:14a
Christmas is the celebration of Jesus'birth, His birth proclaims PEACE --- peace between God and man.

"that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them." 2 Cor 5:19a
Peace is the work of reconciliation.
Christians have the reconciled relatinship with God, they are committed with the message of reconciliation, and there's an eagerness for reconciliation work to be done in lives.
