Peace at Christmas time: hope in stormy times!

Peace at Christmas time: hope in stormy times!

in a world that is characterized by uncertainty, threats and global conflicts, the topic of peace is becoming increasingly important. The Evangelical Allianz Ravensburg under the direction of Petra J. Sträßner emphasizes that despite the challenges that surround us - be it political unrest, natural disasters or personal tragedies - the message of peace is of central importance. This peace, which emerges from the New Testament, finds its origin in the birth of Christ, as explained in the Lukas Gospel: "Because it is peace and good hope that is given to the human children." The hope of permanent peace remains a central message at Christmas.

The power of the divine peace

God himself offers a peace that goes beyond human understanding. This is confirmed in John 14:27, where Jesus says: "I leave the peace with you, I give you my peace. I don't give it to you how the world gives it." Scripture underlines that the peace that God grants is not bound to external circumstances and preserves the hearts of the believers. The deeper meaning of peace is therefore not only the absence of conflicts, but rather an inner calm - a gift that has both individual and community dimensions. The peace pens that actively work for harmony are referred to in the writing as "blessed", as shown in Matthew 5: 9.

Especially in challenging times when society is characterized by fear, the message of peace is alive through the biblical verses. "Search for peace and hunting him" from Psalm 34:14 invites people to actively strive for peace. In addition, Isaiah 26: 3 promises that trust in God gives unshakable peace. These assurances are in contrast to the uncertain world situation and offer a hopeful perspective - a strong argument for the pursuit of peaceful existence, both in the heart and in the community.
