Peace on Earth with whom he is pleased

“Glory to God in the highest,  and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”  - Luke 2:14

For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace - Isaiah 9:6


Name of Jesus Christ - Prince of Peace -


5:1      Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops;
siege is laid against us;
with a rod they strike the judge of Israel
on the cheek.
2      But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
from ancient days.
    4And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth.

And he shall be their peace.
When the Assyrian comes into our land
and treads in our palaces,
then we will raise against him seven shepherds
and eight princes of men; - Micah 5:1,2,4,5


The motto of the Apollo 11 flight was, “We come in peace for all mankind.” This motto was on the plaque which was deposited on the face of the moon. The landing was on the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong and Aldrin found a tranquil and peaceful scene on the moon. There never had been any humans there to disturb the peace.

1. Peace With God
2. Peace to those whom he is well pleased
3. Personal Peace

 1. Peace with God
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ - Rom 5:1

People who are in Sin will not have peace - These scripture verses explain the truth


“There is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.”  - Isaiah 48:22

The wicked are estranged from the womb;  they go astray from birth, speaking lies. Ps 58:3

But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet,
and its waters toss up mire and dirt. - Is 57:20

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life - Rom 5:10

and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross - Colossians 1:20

    All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God - 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

So, we have peace with God through the salvation of Jesus Christ.


2. Peace Among those who he is well pleased - Among Christians - Believers - In Church
Churches -

remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13     But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14     For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15     by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16     and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17     And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18     For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19     So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20     built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, Ephesians 2:12-19


There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29     And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise. - Galatians 3:28

 Jesus came to take away divisions and separation between Christians in the Church, So Wealth, education, color, caste, race, should not separate us.

Christian Homes

Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house!’ 6     And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.  - Luke 10:5-6

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children - Isaiah 54:13

I heard in recent days - one of friends - cousin - committed suicide - because of lack of peace of home - People are willing to take their lives because of lack of Peace ....


One of my friend Tom accepted Jesus Christ as his savior, he had peace in heart, but his wife did not accept Christ so no peace in heart. His home was a hell for him, We both prayed for the salvation of his wife. She has defibilator, one day driving home from work, she stopped at a traffic light next to  the cemetary, She went into panic thinking about her aunt, device shocked her. Rushed to Emergency, then she asked Tom about the peace he has, and received Christ as her savior and got the peace that passeth all understanding.

3.Personal Peace -

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus - Phil 4:6-7

Secret of Peace -

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you- Isaiah 26:3


You can receive peace by inviting Prince of peace in your heart.
