Advent: His Gospel is Peace

To be human is to understand what it means to fear, but the season of Advent helps us long for a different reality: one ruled by peace rather than fear. The Prince of Peace comes to live for us, die for us, and rise for us. In doing so, he overcomes death itself, cleanses us of our sin, defeats the evil one, and makes us righteous. Through faith in our Savior, born Immanuel, we cannot be rejected, we have nothing to be ashamed of, and we have the promise of life everlasting. In Christ alone, fear is exchanged for peace.
