Advent Devotion, Day 11

December 11th

“For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6

As we continue this season of Advent, we pause to reflect on the remarkable title given to Jesus in Isaiah’s prophecy: Prince of Peace. In a world often marked by division, conflict, and unrest, these words offer a profound promise. The peace that Jesus brings is not merely the absence of conflict but a steady and calm assurance in the midst of it.

Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came to establish God's kingdom—a kingdom of peace that transcends circumstances, cultures, and human understanding. His peace is rooted in His presence, His love, and His victory over sin and death. Through His birth, life, death, and resurrection, He made a way for us to experience true peace with God, with others, and within ourselves.

In this season of Advent, we are invited to rest in the peace Jesus offers. As we wait in expectation for His return, we are also called to share this peace with those around us—be it through acts of kindness, reconciliation, or simply extending a word of encouragement.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.” - John 14:27
