Jesus came to bring peace on earth, right? So where is it? Wars and conflicts have raged on since his appearance on earth 2,000 years ago. The earth is hardly a place of harmony. In the 20th century alone, 160 million people died in wars. And outside of the casualties of war on the large scale, we experience conflicts and hatred between political parties, neighbors, and even members of the same family. We seem to be a long way from experiencing the fulfillment of the angels’ announcement that this child born on Christmas day would bring “peace on earth.” So what happened? Did Jesus fail? Was the angel wrong? Where is this promised peace on earth?
