Sermon Passage:  Luke 2:8-20

Text to Ponder: John 20:21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” (NIV84)

Focus: Adapted from the following: John 20:21; Phil 4:7 ; John 14:27 Eph 2:14; (NIV84)

Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.”,

[Let] the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, … guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

[Jesus also said] Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

For [Jesus] himself is our peace. Let our praise never cease to the Prince of Peace.
