When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the declaration of the angels to the shepherds was “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” However, it is easy to see that there is not much peace on earth. Was this just an aspirational hope or is there any substance to the promise of peace. This message suggests that "The Path to Peace" may be different than we think.

• I understand that the PEACE He gives doesn’t require the removal of all evil from the world.
• I will memorize John 14:27, John 16:33, and Matthew 28:29.
