Everlasting Peace

May 4, 2013

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace . . .
–Ephesians 2:13,14

Meaningless mouthings about peace will not bring it to the world. In Glasgow, Scotland, we watched the Communists march around St. George’s Square carrying their banners with the words, “Our motto is PEACE!” My thoughts raced back to Korea, where I had seen the havoc and suffering caused by these people who now use “peace” as their motto. Peace is more than five little white letters painted on a piece of red cloth, carried by a goose-stepping zealot in a Red parade. It is not a mere cessation of hostilities, a momentary halt in a hot or cold war. Rather, it is something positive. It is a specific relationship with God into which a person is brought. It is a spiritual reality in a human heart which has come into vital contact with the infinite God.

Prayer for the day

Your everlasting peace transcends the promises of mankind, Lord Jesus.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding,will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7

Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. Father God, fill our hearts and lives with peace. May your peace so grace our thoughts, words, and deeds that others will yearn for the peace that comes only through a relationship with you.

They say peace, peace when there is no peace. On earth I do not think we can achieve peace. That will be our reward in heaven.

We live in a world where spirituality is dwindling little by little. We need to have faith and pay that God will enter into their lives.

One big reason Heaven will be absolutely perfect is that every inhabitant will be filled with the Peace of the Holy Spirit. Coupled with being in the very presence of our Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ.

I am really enjoying "My Daily Prayer Journal with Insights by Billy Graham." God promises to supply our needs--Phil 4:12 also Luke 17:20-21 (KJV): "20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." I am praying to know what this means. Thank you.

Without faith, there can never be peace. For it is only "with God, that all things are possible"

samson john says 5.4.2011, 12:30 a.m.

May we experience peace in our lives in the days to come and to show the world that Lord Jesus Christ is doing amazing things in our lives who try to follow him in this imperfect world.

A piece of Peace is all we will ever get in our Sinful World!

Gerry says 5.4.2011, 04:28 a.m.

The Peace offered by God connot be fully comprehended by man. However when you receive this awesome Peace of God's Holy Spirit, there will be no doubt that it's definitely real. It permeates your whole being.
