Finding Lasting Peace Through Jesus Christ

This Easter, a Focus on Principles of Peace from the Prince of Peace

 

And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” —Isaiah 9:6

"We want the world to know that peace can come to all who earnestly seek the Prince of Peace,” said President Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “His is the sweet and saving message we take throughout the world — ‘my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.’”

As with previous years’ messages (which have been viewed by millions), this year’s messaging initiative coincides with Holy Week—from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, April 9–16—and includes three invitations:

Come to Christ.
Learn principles of peace from the Prince of Peace.
Share ways to find peace through the Savior.

Invite All to Come unto Christ

Beginning today, March 30, the “Prince of Peace” website on mormon.org features a two-minute video illustrating the role of Jesus Christ as the “Prince of Peace” and inviting others to learn about eight “principles of peace.”

Learn Principles of Peace from the Prince of Peace

During Holy Week, people can learn more about these eight principles of peace: faith, compassion, forgiveness, repentance, gratitude, God’s word, prayer and hope. Each day, the website and social media pages will feature one principle with a video about an individual’s experience finding peace by living that principle.
