Peace Read: Colossians 1:19-29 Lesson: We blame others for our own bad choices and become angry when no one will accept the guilt. Blaming others for our unhappiness breaks apart families, churches, communities and nations. We cant make peace because were preoccupied with placing the blame. Christmas is the season of peace. The Old Testament tells the story of how God set the stage to introduce the Prince of Peace(Isa. 9:6). Jesus came to break the cycle of sin and blame by making peace for us with God through the blood of His cross (Col. 1:20). Instead blaming us for all the troubles we cause, He bore the blame for all of us. He is now recruiting followers who, having received His forgiveness, want others to received it as well. When we accept forgiveness from God, we lose our desire to withhold it from others. And when we live in peace with God, we are eager to make peace with others. We can both give and receive the gift of peace this Christmas. At Christmastime we celebrate The coming of the Prince of Peace; Though now our world is locked in strife, One day Hell make all conflict cease. -Jesus took our place to give us His peace.
