Home for Christmas

December 19, 2021 • Dr. Willy Rice • Colossians 1:19–23

"Peace on Earth" is one of the most endearing and famous Christmas greetings. It comes from Luke 2:14 after the angelic announcement of Jesus' to the shepherds outside Bethlehem. The angels were praising God, and what they said was most commonly rendered from the KJV peace on earth goodwill to men. It has been used as a Christmas greeting, scripted on a thousand Christmas cards, and sung in countless songs. Who doesn't long for peace on earth?

And yet, despite the birth of Christ, there doesn't seem like a lot of peace on earth. Right now...and certainly human history has been filled with "wars and rumors of wars," as Jesus told us it would be. Where is the peace on earth that was promised? Is it possible for you to experience "peace on earth"?
