Advent: The Paradox of Peace

Participate in the 2024 CHRISTMAS GIFT.  From our series "Advent." There's a special word in the Bible for the peace that every soul longs for. It's the word "shalom." Shalom/peace is so much more than simply the absence of drama and conflict. When shalom comes, there is a thick presence and fulfillment of goodness, and healed relationships, and restored lives. Don't you long for that? In our day of division and disunity, shalom seems almost too good to be true. But according to Psalm 91, God's shalom is readily available to whoever chooses to dwell in the shelter of the Almighty. Apparently, no matter your circumstances, deep and abiding peace is moving toward everyone thorugh Jesus Christ. The question is, will we prepare him room?
