In these times of world crisis, people force themselves to find peace. There are all kinds of conferences, chats, treaties and marches in an attempt to find peace.
What is our attitude towards these matters? Do we search for a world peace?
The truth is this is a very controversial issue, on one hand we would like to be in a peaceful place where “war” is an unknown word, but on the other hand, there is the reality that exists since the beginning of time. What do we read in the word of God? What does it tell us about history?
There have always been wars and for us they will continue until the glorious day when our Lord comes for us.
How can there be peace among the nations if amidst our own houses there is no peace?
Is it possible for the entire world to unite in peace when inside us there are terrible battles between the new creature and the old man?
The truth is that the world is enmity with God because “the prince of this world” is an enemy of God. Can there be peace on earth?
This is what the verse is talking about. Christ came to save us, make us brothers and sisters, and to make us children of the Celestial Father. By this process we are enemies of the world, and because of this the world hates us.
Have you seen how many recently converted are hindered by their own non-believing relatives? This is sad but true. “… son against the father, daughter in-law against mother in-law…”
This is what the word talks about. This is the spiritual battle that we all fight, day after day.
So then, what is the true peace?
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
This is the one and only true peace, which Christ gave us. The verse in Luke tells us of a human peace, of a peace that is gestured among man. This is false and deceitful, and it ends as soon as we lose our patience.
But the peace that the Lord gave to his people is the true peace and is in the heart of every son and daughter of God.
Peace with God, since we no longer are of this world; peace in the heart since we know we have been saved and freed from condemnation; peace in all things, feeling protected by His infinite power.
Not like the world that says peace and there is no peace.
Are you going through a tough time, are you under pressure with problems?
Don’t be afraid; don’t lose Faith, look within your self for this peace. Don’t feel anguished, live the new life that Jesus gave you. Rest in His peace. He will hold you fast.
It is great to go forward, not fainting since Christ is with you; what father abandons his son to luck, and if there were someone who would do that, our God and Father would never do this.
You are important to him; He gave his only Son to save you.
If saving your soul cost Him his Son, how could He not remember you in your times of anguish?
Meditate on these things so you don’t fall.
May God bless you…
