THE AFTERWORD | Prepare Him Room - Week 2

WestGate Church Teaching

Jesus is called the “Prince of Peace” by the prophet Isaiah, but if you actually look at the Christmas story in the Bible, it doesn’t seem all that peaceful. Mary is disgraced with a scandalous pregnancy. She’s told a “sword will pierce her soul.” Rome is the conquering power over the Jewish people. A genocidal tyrant kills a bunch of toddlers trying to kill baby Jesus. Joseph and Mary have to flee their land to Egypt. How is this “peace” exactly? Jay Kim stops by to talk about the Biblical definition of the word “peace” and how it doesn’t mean what we often think it means - in fact, it’s far better and more difficult simultaneously. ALSO: Dave introduces Jay to the “Little Drummer Boy” game and Jay shares his favorite Christmas songs.
