Introduction: Is there PEACE on earth? When has there ever been PEACE on earth? Maybe in the garden of Eden when Adam and Eve experienced the presence of God without the curse of sin, there was perfect PEACE, but only temporarily. Will there ever be a time on earth when we will enjoy PEACE?

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14)

1. PEACE came from heaven and was born on the earth – wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger!

“And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:12)

Jesus Christ fulfilled the promise that God made with Adam & Eve along with the pronouncement of judgment upon the serpent.

“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (Gen 3:15)

Are you experiencing God’s PEACE?

2. PEACE came from heaven to be born and take away sin for all people!

“I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” (Luke 2:10)

The angel told Joseph the following: 

“1And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matt 1:21)

Have your sins been forgiven?

3. PEACE came from heaven and was born on the earth to be our SAVIOR!

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11)

Luke records these words of Jesus:

“10For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)

Have you trusted Jesus Christ to take away your sins by His redeeming blood?

4. Jesus Christ offers PEACE between God & man!

“14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14)

Luke records these words in the book of Acts:

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

Do you feel far away from God? We are brought near to God by the blood of Jesus Christ.

“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;” (Eph 2:13,14)
