4. Prince of Peace
“The nature of salvation is peace, or reconciliation -- peace with God, peace with
men, peace within. The source of salvation is grace, God's free favour, irrespective of any
human merit or works, his loving-kindness to the undeserving. And this grace and peace flow
from the Father and the Son together.”
