The prophet Isaiah looked forward to the arrival of the Prince of Peace, whose reign would lead to eternal shalom. Isaiah’s words were fulfilled with the arrival of Jesus. This is why it is so significant that the angels described Jesus’ birth as “peace on earth.”
Read:
Luke 2:9-15
Reflect:
Why do you think God announced the arrival of the King to no-name shepherds? What does this tell you about the nature of God and his Kingdom?
Imagine being there with the shepherds that night. How would you feel? How would you respond?
Notice the words “highest” and “earth” in the angel’s worshipful announcement. What came from the heights of heaven down to earth when Jesus was born? How is this good news? Let your reflections prompt a prayer to express your feelings of awe and gratitude.

About this Plan
The Christ Tree contains countless sprigs of fir, representing each of us. No two sprigs are the same and they come together to form a magnificent sight. Each one is unique, yet an essential part of the whole, just as we are described in 1 Corinthians 12. We hope you will join us as we read The One Advent plan and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.
