Peace on Earth

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Luke 2:7; John 1:14

Peace on Earth
Each recurring Christmastime gives occasion to emphasize anew the wonderful story of the love of God—a love that led Him to send His one-and-only Son into the world, that we might live through Him. Christianity rests on three great pillars: the Incarnation, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Incarnation alone could not redeem sinful men. But apart from the incarnation there could be no propitiatory sacrifice that would avail to put away sin. God the Son became Man in order to die. We cannot make too much of the mystery of the union of the human and the divine in Jesus, who was both Son of God and Son of Mary. In Him we have the Mediator for whom the patriarch Job longed, one who can lay His hand upon both God and man (Job 9:33), because He combines the natures of both in one glorious Person. Bethlehem, Calvary, and the empty tomb, all alike should stir our souls and draw our hearts out to God in wonder, love, and praise.

H. A. Ironside
Here Peace alighted once, but could not find a home.

To Him who brought it, earth could give no room.

Him and His peace man would not have and in this Child of peace

Man saw no heavenly excellence, no grace, no comeliness.

Peace in that cradle lay, the Prince of Peace was there;

The fullness of His Peace He brought with man to share.


H. Bonar
