When was the last time you got in a fight? It happens more often than we admit probably. It’s easy for us to get in a fight with our brother or sister, friend, mom or dad or spouse. We fight because God has made us all differently and we like different things. When people don’t like the same things we do the easiest thing is to fight with that person.
But that’s not what the Bible or God tells us to do. God wants us to listen to each other and try to understand the other person. And then instead of fighting with the other person try to find a way so that you can both be happy, this is called a compromise.
The Bible says Jesus is the “Prince of Peace.” That means that when Jesus was born as a baby he was born to bring peace into our lives and when we accept Jesus as our savior he wants us to bring peace to other people’s lives. The peace Jesus brings us helps us not fight with each other and it helps us be okay with everything going on because we know that God is in control. Let’s try and receive the peace that Jesus gives us during Christmas time and throughout the year.
Activity: Watch Zootopia and talk about what the movie is trying to tell us. What does it say about getting along with others instead of being afraid?
