The Birth of the Prince of Peace
He made peace and reconciliation between man and God, as He is the Son of God in His divinity and the Son of Man in His humanity. Thus, He was able, through His incarnation, to bless our nature and enables us to unite with God. Through His redemption, He was able to fulfill the divine justice and reveal the love of God and his tender mercies, which captivates the hardest hearts. Therefore, through incarnation and redemption, reconciliation was accomplished and offered to mankind, to whoever accepts it and enters with God in a new covenant through baptism, so he dies with Christ and rises with Him in a new life. Additionally, the power of dying and the power of living that we obtained in baptism continue to work within our lives through repentance: The power of dying to sin, and the power of living through grace.
