This week’s theme is Prince of Peace. The reason for this is that the Jews believed that when the long-awaited Messiah came, He would usher in a period of peace, and prosperity.
Today we understand that by living as Jesus did, we would have to surrender all of our prejudices and accept each other as brothers and sisters. Loving one another would become the living principle that guided our existence.
So, the question we must ask ourselves is, “does my brother have aught against me?” There can be no animosity in God’s kingdom because we are all one in Christ Jesus.
How do we express this in our relationships? By loving one another with the same sacrificial love that Jesus had for us.
Meditate on that concept as we celebrate the birth of the King.
God bless us in His holy name.
