On that memorable night in the Judean hills of Bethlehem over two thousand years ago, the angels declared," Peace on earth". Though the centuries have rolled by, still the world longs for and looks for the peace the angles announced. Where is this peace?
Clearly it is not evident in the world, with its constant fighting and conflicts. Clearly it is not in many homes where we see violence and often divorce. So where is the peace? It must first abide in the heart. And the only way that can happen is  that the Prince of Peace,Jesus Christ, reigns in our hearts.  Let Christ Jesus reign in your heart today.
" Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rest." Luke 2:14

My dictionary defines wonderful as anything that is so unusual or magnificent that it causes wonder and amazement.
Jesus was wonderful in His life. He mingled with sinners, yet His enemies could not find not one single flaw in His character. His miracles and His teaching both testified to His divine authority.
Christ was also wonderful in His death. He died for others just as He had lived for others: To make our salvation possible. And this death led to the wonderful, glorious Resurrection, opening for us the door to Heaven and eternal life.
Jesus is wonderful indeed!
" He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

Christianity has its roots in the deep , firm soil of history. Jesus' incarnation- God invading human history with His presence in the form of man - is on record. Every time you write the date, you attest to the fact that God entered human history. We used to say ," in the year of our Lord" or A.D. but that has been erased from our vocabulary.
Jesus came into the world so we might know that God cares how we live, what we believe, and how we will die. Jesus came to demonstrate to us that we were made to have a personal relationship with God. He came to bridge the gap that separated us from our Creator.
" Gd was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them." 2 Corinthians 5:19

Can you blame Abraham and Sarah for doubting God's promise that within a year she would bear a son? Sarah had been childless all her married life, and now she was approaching the age of ninety. But the impossible happened: Isaac was born.
Remember Abraham and Sarah the next time you encounter what seems to be an insurmountable problem Nothing was too hard for God then- and nothing is too hard for Him today. If it were, why would we pray? But God is still sovereign over His creation, and He is still at work. That doesn't mean He always answers the way we wish He would- but never doubt His power, and never doubt His love.
" Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son."- Genesis 18:14

How do we put love in action? Serve one another. The Lord Jesus modeled this when He washed His disciples' feet. Be patient with one another. This is possible because of the Spirit's presence in us. Be courteous to one another. Even if someone is difficult or disagreeable, treat them with gentleness and love. Set an example for one another " in speech, in life, in love. in faith and in purity"(1 Timothy 4:12).
Edify one another.We are to encourage and build up our brothers and sisters in Christ. Pray for one another. What a privilege to come before the Lord on another's behalf.
 " Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.  No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." 1 John 4:11-12
