When We Behold (In Excelsis)

Monday, December 15, 2025 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" (Luke 2:14) Today's is a guest devotional. "For years, I thought that Jesus came to bring peace on earth. But the angels did not promise world peace. John Newton wrote, 'The angels said peace will be among men with whom God is pleased. With whom is God pleased? Those who have placed their faith in His Son. We know that God is not pleased with all men. In fact, all of mankind is in open rebellion against God. Only those who have placed faith in Jesus have found His peace.' "God came to earth to live as a human being, die for our sins, and rise again so that God could offer us His grace (His favor), which we receive by faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. We receive deliverance from the greatest enemy, sin, and its greatest consequence, death. "Believe in Jesus. Commit your life to Him rather than to your own way of living. God will be pleased with you. His favor will rest on you because: He is no longer angry at your sin; you receive complete forgiveness; your relationship with the God who loves you is restored; you are redeemed from sin and delivered from death. "This is the Good News! Actually, that is great news! These are some of the gifts of Christmas that last forever! "We have peace with God because of our relationship with Christ. We can have peace with each other as we let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts (Colossians 3:15). It is because of Christ that we can live in peace with one another. "Because of God’s promise fulfilled, we can join with the angels in declaring, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven.' We can truly experience the peace of God, which is directed to 'those with whom He is pleased' -- that is, everyone who trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ. 'Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' (Romans 5:1) "Amen! I am at peace with God. Are you?" --Melanie Newton
