Luke 2:14

One of the hallmarks of the Christmas story is when the angels appear to the shepherds and proclaim, in Luke 2:14. Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth, peace, good will toward men.

Jesus brought about peace, in the most unexpected ways, when he arrived. The Jews, particularly the zealots, wanted a rebellion. They wanted their Savior to overturn the oppressive rule of the Romans and bring about peace in a violent way.
