Prince of Peace
In the scriptures, peace can mean either freedom from conflict and turmoil or the inner calm and comfort born of the Spirit that God gives to his faithful Saints.
John 14:27
"My message tonight pertains to the only source of true and lasting peace, Jesus the Christ—our Prince of Peace.. . . He can bring peace to those whose lives have been ravaged by war.. . . Peace can come to those who are not feeling well. Some bodies are
wounded. Others ache spiritually because of missing loved ones or other
emotional trauma. Brothers and sisters, peace can come to your soul as
you build faith in the Prince of Peace.. . . . Peace can come to one who suffers in sorrow. Whether sorrow stems from a
mistake or a sin, all the Lord requires is real repentance. Scripture
pleads with us to “flee [from] youthful lusts; … [and] call on the Lord
out of a pure heart.” Then His soothing “balm in Gilead” can heal even a sin-sick soul.. . . Peace can come to those who mourn. The Lord said, “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”22 As we endure the passing of a loved one, we can be filled with the peace of the Lord through the whisperings of the Spirit.. . . . Peace can come to all who earnestly seek the Prince of Peace. His is the
sweet and saving message our missionaries take throughout the world.. . . Peace can come to all who choose to walk in the ways of the Master. His
invitation is expressed in three loving words: “Come, follow me.” Jesus the Christ-Our Prince of Peace By Elder Russell M. Nelson
Elder Richard G. Scott
of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles taught: “The ideal place for …
peace is within the walls of our own homes, where we have done all we
can to make the Lord Jesus Christ the centerpiece.”3
