Peace on Earth, isn’t that what so many want this time of year. And yet seldom in my life has there been more conflict. Words like war, terror, radicalize, guns, bombs, hate and so many more are heard constantly on our moment by moment news cycle. We are stirred up on a constant basis toward fear. This is why we needed a Savior! This is why He came. Apart from Christ there is no peace. When the scripture talks about the chariots of Ephraim and the war horses of Jerusalem it is referring to power or at least perceived power and what we as humans run to. Yet our King, Jesus came meek and mild as a child, but He will return as a warrior King coming to take His children Home! Our King came the first time humble and riding on a donkey, but when He returns it will be riding in the saddle of a powerful war horse demolishing all evil! Glory! All things will be under His power and His authority! As we celebrate Jesus this Christmas may we not just celebrate Him as the star of the nativity but as the reigning King of Kings who will soon return to take His bride Home to be with Him. Then and only then will true peace come. Until then we are His messengers to share His peace and His light.
