Peace On Earth
The Christmas season has just ended, but I'm still thinking about a common theme for Christmas... peace on earth. What does that mean? What type of peace does Jesus bring? What conflicts, what wars does he end?
What war did Jesus talk about?

I don't know if you will even see this, but I wanted to say amen to what you wrote.
I have put it this way before: You know how in movies when strangers meet in the middle of no where, they often make a proclamation of some sort, like "we mean no harm", or "we come in peace". God's announcement to the world at the arrival of His Son, was "Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men." That is awesome because He says exactly what His intentions are toward us. What you have pointed out is that he went far beyond that and while we were His enemies, he did this and proved his intentions by dying for us, His enemies! Thereby making a way to end the war! What an amazing show of love!
Thank you for your comment Tim,
Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and what he brought was peace on earth. But not the peace non-believers think. He brought conflict between men, even setting father against son, and brother against brother. The peace he brought is a peace between God and men... a peace that is available to all who accept and trust Jesus Christ as their savior, Lord and God.
