CHRIST OUR SHILOH: Christ is the PEACE-BRINGER for He is the promised Shiloh, “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between His feet, until Shiloh come; and to Him shall the gathering of the people be” (Gen 49:10). He is the PEACE-MAKER, for He “made peace through the blood of His cross” (Col 1:20). And He is the PEACE-GIVER, for “having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Rom 5:1). Isaiah prophesied that when God’s Son came, He would be called “the Prince of Peace.” As the Antitype of Melchizedek, He is “King of Peace” (Heb 7:2). As the second Member of the triune Deity, He is “the God of Peace” who “will crush Satan under your feet shortly” (Rom 16:20). And as the Head of the Church, He is the “Lord (kurios) of Peace”: “Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way” (2 Thess 3:16). “Perfect peace, and at such a time”! (Ezra 7:12). “For He Himself is our peace” (Eph 2:14).
