As we consider the frequent chaos of life in the context of the angel’s declaration to the shepherds in Luke 2:14, I find myself asking, what is peace? And is it possible to have it in this life? Let me invite you on a whirlwind tour of what the New Testament tells us of this peace the angels spoke of. Clearly we know from the announcement by the angels at Christ’s birth that the peace they spoke of is directly linked to the coming of baby Jesus, the Savior, Christ the Lord. But how is peace connected to him, and what is this peace like? Is it only found in the halls of heaven, or can it be had here on earth too?
