Of all the words spoken at Christmas time, Peace defies a simple definition. Without freedom, there is no peace. Yet wars have often been fought for freedom.

So peace is not just "the absence of war." It's much more than that. Only when heaven reigns on earth will we know true peace.

Christmas brings us the promise that we will.
