Names of the Messiah: Prince of Peace

Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7 (NRSV)

To the Jewish mind, peace is a positive way of being and relating in the real world. Peace helps you engage the world’s chaos, rather than flee from it or pretend it doesn’t exist. Peace is there to address and heal the disarray.

Christ the Prince of Peace gives us shalom. Shalom is wholeness and well-being. Cohesiveness of community—harmony. Peace of mind and peace of heart—where we’re freed to move from shame to honor.

With Christ, there’s a close tie between the peace he gives and restoration—the healing of body, mind, and soul.

Christ is our Prince of Peace.
