the sermon today
it was about JESUS being the Prince of Peace. the pastor talked about Rom. 16:17-20 which says that the GOD of Peace will crush satan. which really is an interesting concept, to think that Peace will crush something. so then he went back to Gen. 3 when GOD said that the Seed of woman would crush satan and how that's the first JESUS prophecy. and then he went to Rev. (19 i think) where it describes JESUS coming in all HIS glory and squashing satan, and how we can have peace because we know the outcome of this war. it was really interesting. not quite what i expected from a Christmastime sermon on peace, but good.

I think your pastor was probably working from the same pastor's material magazine that our is! We also studied how God is going to crush evil and restore peace to the earth but we focused more on Isaiah and then the Roman's passage.
i think we tend to think of "peace" as the warm fuzzy 'all is well because God is God' feeling (which is partly true), instead of the actual peace that will come when Jesus wipes satan from the face of the earth.
I can't wait! I hope He does it soon!
my old roommate rinney thought it was interesting that 'JESUS not being all sweet' passages were my favorite
i like the Jesus being sweet/compassionate passages, but i also like the passage where He shows Who's Boss :)
oops -- i meant passageS where He shows Who's Boss :)
that's how i read it :)
oh. good. :)
