Peace on Earth

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” I'm sure you've heard those words before. The angels sang them as a great host in front of the shepherds, who stood terrified and in awe. And truly, that peace on earth that they mentioned is what most people strive to find this time of year. And there are many who get discouraged because they experience a lack of joy, hope, and peace. Well, let me urge you today to adopt the perspective of a child. What are children like at Christmas-time? Well, they enjoy the presence of their family and trust in their support and provision. When we receive the free gift of eternal life, we’re adopted into the family of God; and the Holy Spirit dwells in us. We can have the security, excitement, and hope for the future that comes from knowing that God is always with us. So who can you share that hope of Jesus with this Christmas season?
