Isaiah 9:6, “...His name shall be called...Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His
government and peace there will be no end.”
As Prince of Peace, the Son given unto us will reign.
Collins Concise Dictionary defines peace as:
1. The state
existing during the absence of war
2. A treaty
marking the end of war
3. A state of
harmony between people and groups
4. Law and
order within a State
5. Absence of
mental anxiety
6. A state of
stillness, silence or serenity.
How does peace affect us personally?
It means we are in a state of harmony with others. There is
an absence of mental anxiety; and there is a quietness and serenity in the
soul. But, all this is really only possible if we have the peace of God in our
hearts.
Isaiah 48:22 states, “There is no peace,” says the Lord, “For the wicked.”
In John 14:27 the Lord Jesus speaking to his disciples,
on the night in which He was betrayed by Judas Iscariot; said these words, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to
you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.”
Colossians 1:20, “...having made peace through the blood of His cross.”
In Ephesians 2:14 we are told, “For He Himself is our peace...”
If we have the peace of God in our hearts, all is well.
