The Miracle of Peace
Series: Christmas
Richard A. Bradley
Luke 2:13-14
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 14 ''Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!'' NKJV
As we stated last week there are many miracles associated with the birth of Jesus. While the Virgin Birth is the most indispensable miracle related to the Christmas story the gift of peace is probably the Christmas miracle we most need and crave for everyday life.
Ask just about anyone what they need in their lives more than anything else and they'll say peace. We live in a world that destroys our peace and God understands this. That Jesus came to bring peace to a lost and desperate world is surely one of the greatest miracles of Christmas.

A visitor from another planet would assume that the children belonged to the Church of Meteorology.''

28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.
30 I and My Father are one.''
The eternal security of the believer is based on three things:
(1)- The sacrificial death of the perfect Son of God on the cross for the sins of all mankind;
(2)- The individual's faith in the finished work of Christ in providing us with th ...
