Jesus: God’s Gift of Real Peace
The book of Micah it’s all about the God of judgment, the God of hope and the God of pardon. But in Micah chapter 5, the prophet describes particularly the Person of Christ (v.2), and the Program of Christ (vv.3-15). It is a good reminder that when we are not walking with God… when we are not obeying Him… the most loving thing that God can do is to turn our hearts back to Him. —But sometimes that means through discipline. Therefore, Christmas serves as a reminder that the best gift God can give any person is the gift of Himself—and nothing else compares. But Jesus also brought in Himself other gifts: hope and peace. And there has to be an excitement to enjoy His presence today, tomorrow and for the rest of our lives.
