As we continue our Advent series in the sermon titled a Cry for Peace, we are reminded by the prophet Micah the reason as to how Jesus’ birth provides us access to Peace. The seemingly never ending conflict in the world can breed cynicism in our hearts towards there ever being peace on earth. This is because the type of peace we long for is not spiritual but material. Jesus on the other hand brings peace not for worldly conflict but one for eternity. He brings peace to the conflict between the sinner and God. Jesus is the answer to our cry for Peace. Only once we are at peace with God can we truly be empowered by the Spirit to be peacemakers with all men.
