For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
- Does peace in this life, specifically this idea of shalom (a complete sense of well-being, contentment and tranquility of mind and spirit) seem attainable to you?
- What are the sources of peace in your life? (Jesus? Moralism? Money?) Are your sources reliable?
- Can you think back to a time or season in your life when you truly were experiencing the peace of Christ? How did it influence your reactions to external circumstances? If you can’t think of a time like this, can you think of a person you’ve witnessed to carry the peace Jesus offers?
