Summary: Luke 1:67-80
When life is hard and feels out of control, we crave peace. Jesus came to earth to offer the peace we could never find on our own.
What does this say about God?
God is peaceful. He is not chaotic, disorderly, or in conflict with Himself. The lack of peace around us is because of sin, not from God. He is the author of peace and the means of peace.
