Has christmas a fruit? ... To give knowledge of salvation unto His people by the remission of sins; to guide their feet into the way of peace! ... This is the result of the shining Dayspring from on High: He took all your sins away, never to return. There is remission of sins.
But there is more: to guide our feet into the way of peace! Peace is the harmony between your heart and the heart of God. When His heartbeat and yours beat in unison, and you know that, then you taste peace. In a figure: when you sing a song with God, and when your voices merge and you sing as one, then you have peace.
The way to that peace is the Christ-child. His name is Prince of Peace. … Christmas tells you that He takes your hands and leads you on the way of peace to the place where your peace will eternally flow like a river! Blessed be the night when Jesus was born! ~ Rev. Vos, Unspeakable Gift, pg 39, 40.
