Jesus, Our Prince of Peace

Isaiah 9:6 tells us: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called…Prince of Peace” 
In this passage, the Hebrew word for peace, “shalom,” doesn’t merely mean the absence of conflict; it’s the idea that not only has all conflict ended, but that something better is in its place.  That “something better” is Jesus, the Prince of Peace! The peace He offers doesn’t necessarily bring peace to our circumstances, but rather, He brings peace to our hearts.
