Refuge Youth Weekly Update
December 9th, 2015
Advent Week 2, Peace
As we move through December into the second week of Advent we focus now on the Peace of Christ in this season. Our Father is a God of peace! No matter what the world looks like, what the news says, what's happening around us in our families, communities or world, God is still about peace. And as we go through this Christmas season at the end of what has been at times a difficult year we can rest in the peace of Jesus Christ. God's peace is available to us here and now, that in all circumstances we can rest in His peace, but also we can hope for the future glory of Christ and the eternal peace of Heaven! No more tears, no more mourning, no more violence, disease, or war! The Prince of Peace has come this Christmas, we just have to trust in Him.
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Price of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6
"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:7
