Peace with God: From the Manger to the Cross

In episode two of our Christmas series on peace, Paul and Rebecca Turner turn our attention to the most essential peace of all—peace with God. Long before the angels sang, peace was shattered in the Garden of Eden when sin entered the world, creating a separation no human effort could repair.This episode traces the connection between the Babe in the manger and the Man on the cross, reminding us that Christmas cannot be fully understood apart from Calvary. Jesus was born as Peace incarnate so that, through His death, burial, and resurrection, sinners could be reconciled to a holy God.Paul and Rebecca explore how the angelic announcement of peace was not sentimental or symbolic, but deeply redemptive—declaring that the way back to God had arrived. As we continue toward Christmas, this episode invites listeners to move beyond the scene of the stable and embrace the Savior who came to restore what was lost, offering lasting peace with God through faith in Christ alone.
