Prince of Peace

Jesus was born into a world with many powerful rulers and kings who so often increased their own power and influence by violence and military strength. Caesar Augustus came to power through a bloody civil war. Herod famously killed anybody who threatened his hold on the throne, even if it was his own children. But Jesus was born in a manger, proclaimed savior, Messiah, and the one who would bring peace through a much different path. Jesus brought peace through sacrifice, humility, service, and putting others first.
