Why It Matters that Jesus is the PRINCE OF PEACE

Episode Summary. Joe Namath once said, "When you win, nothing hurts." The pleasure of victory can be so great that it overcomes the aching muscles and bruised body that result from battle. If you are disheartened, battered, discouraged or weary from fighting the good fight--your heart aching and soul bruised--my hope is that this episode will give such a clear picture of the colossal TRIUMPH of Messiah Jesus—and our part in that victory, that in some small way the pain is lessened, because we GRASP the ENORMITY of our eventual WIN.

For Further Prayerful Thought

1. How does Jesus’ title Prince of Peace reinforce the truth that the gospel has four chapters, creation, fall, redemption, restoration and not just two, fall and redemption?
2. What stood out to you about the meaning of the Hebrew word, shalom? Why would it be biblical to say that shalom is the answer to all the levels of poverty in the world?
3. Why would you support the argument that one of the highest callings of Christians is to spread the kingdom of righteousness in their vocations?
4.  What aspects of kingdom righteousness in the work place stood out to you?
