Listen "Jesus As Peace"
Episode Synopsis
Peace is one of the deepest longings of the human heart—and one of the hardest things to hold onto in a world marked by chaos, fear, and fractured lives. In week two of our Advent series, we discover that true peace is not the absence of trouble or the illusion of control. True peace is a Person. Peace is Jesus.
In this teaching, we explore the contrast between false peace—the kind we manufacture through comfort or control—and the true peace Jesus brings: True peace arrives not through strength, but through surrender. The angels announce peace not to kings or elites, but to exhausted shepherds—those most familiar with fear, lack, and vulnerability. This is who Jesus comes to first. His peace meets us where life feels the most fractured.
Jesus doesn’t simply bring peace—He is our peace. His presence heals what fear has broken, restores what sin has disordered, and makes us whole in the midst of everything we cannot fix. His peace is honest, reconciling, costly, and deeply personal. Advent invites us to stop gluing the pieces back together on our own and place them in the hands of the One who can actually restore wholeness. Peace comes when Jesus is at the center—reordering our lives where chaos once ruled.
If you feel afraid, overwhelmed, or undone, this teaching is for you. Peace is not out of reach. Peace has come. Give the pieces to Jesus, and let Him make you whole again. This is Advent. And Jesus is our Peace.
