Peace. We all want peace. Even those who want to
kill us want peace - their way. The longer the world
goes, the less peace there is going to be.
There will be no world peace until Jesus Christ returns
to this world. He is the "prince of peace." But, in the
meantime what do we do for peace?
Like nearly every thing else, there are those who offer
us a false peace. You know, stand on your head until
you faint. Or, work yourself into a frenzy so you forget
about your problems, etc. etc.
But first we must recognize where peace, real inner
peace comes from.
"Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the
Lord Jesus Christ."
Lord Jesus Christ."
(Philippians 1:2 NASB)
True peace only comes from God.
Jesus Christ the Son of the living God, the very
creator of the heavens and the earth, said while
he was here on earth:
"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let
(John 14:27 NASB)
This peace he gives to his true disciples. It is an
inner peace he gives to us that the world cannot
take away.
It comes because ;
"... we have peace with God throughout our Lord
Jesus Christ,"
(Romans 5:1 NASB)
When we turn our lives over to Jesus Christ and
submit our self to him;
When we turn our lives over to Jesus Christ and
submit our self to him;
"... the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,"
(Philippians 4:7 NASB)
becomes ours.
