Peace Comes Through The Sword

December 10, 2023

It's only in looking through the life of Mary backwards, pondering with her about all that came after Jesus' birth, that the events of that first Christmas make any sense. For example, how is it that her son, the prophesied "Prince of Peace," would also bring a "sword" to her own soul? If you've ever wondered why every day can't be just like Christmas day, the answer might be that lasting peace only comes through the sword...and we don't like swords. Learning the lessons of Mary's peace, this Sunday at Mendham Hills.
