Peace on earth. Has there ever been such a thing – will there ever be? Wars and rumors of wars are the mile markers of history. Wars seem to be the events by which history is recorded. Did you ever hear of World Peace I or World Peace II – or the years of Civil Peace? Did the Holy Scriptures really promise Peace On Earth? Did an angel from heaven really proclaim “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!" ? (Luke 2:14) The answer is…YES!
Butwhatabout…? – Butwhatabout…? – Butwhatabout…?
We could spend most of our lives filling in these blanks. However – if we take the cognizant, courageous leap of faith – if we choose to believe God’s Word is true – then we must refine our understanding of peace. Jesus said – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
Jesus knows about peace – He is indeed the Prince of Peace. How then can we define peace…? Peace is not the absence of conflict – Peace is the presence of God.
God made His presence known in a spectacular, miraculous way long ago in the ancient city of Bethlehem. His presence remains just as real – just as powerful – just as loving.
Thanks be to God for His tender mercy and all sufficient grace. May we be instruments used of God to live out and reach others with the good news. Glory to God in the highest! There Is Peace in the World Tonight.
