The Promise of Peace

  • by

Micah promises that from Bethlehem, a small, forgotten, overlooked village on the edge of the Roman empire, will come a ruler whose greatness is marked not by power but by peace. When Gabriel appears to Mary, Micah’s prophecy begins to unfold: God chooses the humble, not the mighty, to bring His peace to earth. The peace that Jesus embodies, the Prince of Peace that He is, is a divine peace with a subversive nature. The peace of Jesus doesn’t come through conquest or control but through surrender and faith. In Mary’s, “Yes,” the world’s truest peace begins to take shape. Pastor Shaq Hager walks through how we can be people who embody this kind of peace today, even when the place Jesus is leading us is one of uncertainty.
