Praise to the PRINCE of PEACE
“His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, PRINCE OF PEACE.”
Chaos. Devastation. War. Destruction. Loss. Pain. Suffering.
Why is it that we’re surprised by them? Why do they feel so wrong? Why is it that everything in our being resists them? The answer is because God created us in His image and He is the Prince of Peace. We resist because we live on earth where Satan is the prince of the power of the air. We resist because we live in a world where there is devastation brought on by the ruler of this world.
What can we do? We can steady our eyes on the hope set before us. The Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus, is returning in the clouds. The believer’s eternal home is with Him. We can pray that His Holy Spirit fill our spirit with peace. We can rest in the knowledge that while Satan rules the world, Jesus rules over us. We can live as Christ’s lights in the world. We can offer Christ’s peace to others.
Jesus, PRINCE OF PEACE, we need You and long for Your reign in our hearts and over this world. Come quickly.
