#[Isaiah 9:6]; [John 14:27]; [Luke 4:18-20] #
Jason, alongside Matthew, delivers a Christmas pep talk centered on Jesus as the Prince of Peace. Jason highlights three key aspects: what was foretold (prophesied) about Jesus, focusing on Isaiah's description of Jesus as "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"; what there is to behold about Jesus, referencing Luke and Jesus's ministry of proclaiming good news, freedom, and recovery, and Jesus's invitation to a new way of living; and what Jesus retold about himself, particularly the gift of peace offered in John, encouraging listeners to experiment with and explore peace even without fully understanding it. He stresses that Christmas should be about the meaning behind the season, not just the activities. Jason encourages listeners to embrace Jesus's offer of peace amidst life's challenges, regardless of their circumstances.
