Do You See What I See: Peace | December 10, 2023 - Shan Moyers
Dive into the dynamics of good news and bad news, exploring how we instinctively lean in when we hear both. With Christmas just 15 days away, we reflect on the shepherds' experience of the angel's announcement of Jesus' birth as "Good News." In a world filled with bad news, the Christmas story stands out as a message of hope and peace. Breaking down the Hebrew concept of peace, Shalom, we understand that it's not just the absence of conflict but the presence of wholeness in the midst of it. The good news is that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came to bring Shalom to our lives, addressing the cracks and brokenness we experience. The bad news is that we can't fix these on our own. The Christmas story reminds us that the Good News is not only true but profoundly good – offering salvation from the eternal consequences of sin and providing a pathway to experience Shalom in every area of our lives. As we draw near to the Prince of Peace, we find peace not in the absence of problems but in His presence. The invitation is extended to all, especially those seeking peace this Christmas season, to draw closer to Jesus and receive the transformative power of the Good News. The video concludes with an encouragement for those new to faith to respond to the Good News by placing their faith in Jesus, with over 30 people scheduled for baptism as a symbolic expression of reconnection, forgiveness, and acceptance through faith in Jesus. The prayer is extended for anyone ready to receive Jesus' Shalom Peace, emphasizing that no preparation is needed – everything is provided to embrace the Good News today.
