Title: Have You Received the Gift of Peace?
Text:
John 14:27 (HCSB)
27 "Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not be troubled or fearful.
Observation:
I had one of those light bulb type experiences when reading a devotional by Oswald Chambers recently. He said this, "The angels did not prophesy about peace; rather they proclaimed peace".
Who are the recipients of this peace?
Luke 2:14 (HCSB)
14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people He favors!
Romans 5:1 (HCSB)
1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The peace of God is alive today in the hearts of God's people who have the divine presence of Jesus living in them. Is Jesus alive in you?
I am so glad that I can sing with a confident faith in God the words of this old hymn of the church.
"I'm possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart;
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart",
There is nothing in this world sweeter than having peace with God, and having the peace of God ruling and reigning in our life. Do you know Him? Have you received Him?
Romans 5:1-2 (HCSB)
1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We have also obtained access through Him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
Prayer:
Father hallowed be Your name. Father, I am so grateful for the grace of God that provides the means for the war to cease, and for those who are unworthy to be made worthy by the precious and royal blood of Jesus the Messiah of God.
Father, I am so grateful that as a child of God, I have peace that no one can steal. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
