Luke 2:20
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had seen and heard, as it had been told them.
Joy for the shepherds! These humble, hardworking men were the first to hear the incredible news from a host of angels. And when they verified that it was true, the joy that filled their hearts must have been overwhelming—knowing that this Messiah wasn’t just for kings or for the wealthy; He was a Savior for all people.

Isaiah 9:6
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.
Peace through a child. The Savior of the world has so many incredible names—names full of power, love, wisdom, and peace. And yet, He didn’t come as a conquering king on a white horse, ready to overthrow the nations. He came as a fragile, newborn baby, willing to give His life to defeat the real enemy: death. His life, His love, His sacrifice—this is what gives us true peace.

Philippians 4:6-7
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.
Peace through provision. It was a recipe for disaster—no midwife, no room, no bed…just a stable. And yet, that smelly, animal-filled place became the very spot where Mary and Joseph went from feeling completely overwhelmed to having exactly what they needed…even down to a makeshift bed for their newborn baby. The peace you’re looking for doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from provision.

Luke 2:14
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!
Peace on earth. The angels knew their message was huge—one that would reach every corner of the world. But that night, it wasn’t announced to kings—it was given to the shepherds: the lowly, the ones no one even noticed. And that’s exactly the point: the good news of Jesus isn’t just for some, it’s for all. No matter who you are, the Savior wants to give you peace.

Isaiah 26:3
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Peace in the chaos. So many things could’ve gone wrong when Mary, a young virgin, became pregnant. So many things could’ve gone wrong as Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem—or when they had to welcome their baby in a stable. Yet through it all, they kept their eyes on the One who hung every star in the evening sky, the One who had the power to protect them at every turn.

John 16:33
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
Peace in your heart. The world has been full of chaos and corruption since thorns and thistles started growing. And during this Christmas season, it can feel impossible to escape the things that poke and prod at our hearts. Yet even when life feels overwhelming, we can hold onto the truth: the Savior has overcome, and in Him, our hearts can find lasting peace.
