Peace

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." - Luke 2:14 KJV

Our Heavenly Father robed Himself in flesh in His name Jesus and dwelt among us as the Messiah. He came to bring us peace.

Isaiah foretold of His birth and called Him the Prince of peace.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6 KJV

What peace would Jesus bring and how would He bring it?

Jesus would bring peace between Himself and humanity, where our sins and iniquities had separated us. God would bring peace by paying for our sins by His death on the cross.

"But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear." - Isaiah 59:2 KJV

"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." - Colossians 1:20 KJV

"To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." - 2 Corinthians 5:19 KJV

Jesus told His disciples He was going to suffer and die, and on the third day rise again.

"For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day." - Mark 9:31 KJV

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - John 14:27 KJV

By Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, He brought peace between Himself and humanity. By His death He destroyed the devil and delivered all those that were in bondage by their fear of dying.

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." - Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV

By our repentance, baptism in Jesus name for the remission of our sins, and by receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, we no longer have to fear death. We have eternal life, and abundant new life in this life. (Acts 2:38, Acts 2:4, Romans 6:1-4, John 10:10, 2 Corinthians 5:20, Romans 6:8-9).
