So I'm rocking the morning quiet time on Christmas Day, and I come across an awesome connection between the familiar Christmas verse about "peace on earth, goodwill toward men" (Luke 2:14) and the OT (Isaiah 53:5): "...the chastisement for our peace was upon Him..."
In front of the family manger, it struck me that the only reason we can have "peace on earth" is that our punishment was on Christ. This connection definitely brought new life to the old Christmas cliche and gave me a deeper appreciation for the moments of "peace" I experience in my daily life.
