Day 14 — The Prince of Peace
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given… and He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6
Summary
As we close this week on peace, we turn our eyes to the heart of Advent:
Jesus Himself is our Peace.
He does not merely offer peace as a feeling, a moment of calm, or a temporary relief.
Peace is part of His identity — who He is, not just what He does.
When Jesus came into the world, peace entered the world embodied in a Person.
Insight for Today — Peace Comes from His Presence, Not Circumstances
The world offers peace in the form of escape, distraction, or temporary relief. But the peace Jesus brings is rooted in His presence, not in perfect conditions.
This is why:
You can have peace in chaos
Peace in loss
Peace in waiting
Peace in uncertainty
Because peace isn’t something you find.
Peace is Someone you know.
Jesus is the Prince of Peace who reigns over every storm, every fear, every burden — and every season of your life.
Going Deeper — His Peace Is Different
Jesus said, “My peace I give you… not as the world gives” (John 14:27).
His peace is:
Strong — it withstands pressure
Steady — it anchors you in truth
Protective — it guards your heart
Deep — it fills places nothing else can reach
Enduring — it lasts through highs and lows
Advent reminds us that this peace came wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
The world expected a warrior king — but God sent a Prince of Peace who would conquer hearts before He conquered nations.
True peace begins internally before it is ever seen externally.
Pointing to Jesus
Every promise of peace in Scripture points back to Him:
He reconciles us to God
He carries our burdens
He quiets our storms
He heals our hearts
He restores our minds
He is the One we run to.
He is the One who steadies us.
He is the One who still brings peace to the world today.
Peace is not a distant ideal; peace is a Person who is near.
Reflection/Prayer
Jesus, You are my Prince of Peace. Reign in every part of my heart today. Let Your presence quiet my fears, soothe my worries, and steady my steps. Thank You for coming into this world to bring peace that lasts forever. Teach me to rest in You and carry Your peace into every place I go. Amen.
Application Question
Where do you most need the Prince of Peace to rule in your heart today? How can you intentionally invite His presence into that area?
