The peace that was declared by the angels at the birth of Christ is not a horizontal peace that comes from good will shared among men. It is a vertical peace, between God and man, that only Christ could accomplish – for those He has chosen, whose hearts have been changed, whose sins have been atoned, and in whom the Father is pleased, not because of anything they have done, but because of the finished work of Christ.
