The world is looking for what it calls peace and, especially at Christmastime, the calls for world peace and harmony between nations and people groups seems to ramp up. But is that the kind of "peace on earth" the angels were talking about when they sang "peace on earth, goodwill toward men?" This sermon examines the peace of Christmas showing that the announcement of the angels was one of declaring peace between God and those who would repent and trust the Christ of the manger and the cross.
