God’s peace and the world’s peace are not the same

God's peace and the world's peace are not the same

Christian Post,

Peace is not just a feeling, it is also a condition, a mindset, a state of being. It is a relationship with God Almighty who created you and loves you. Peace is where we want to live. But we live in an unpeaceful world full of strife, envy, jealousy, rage, competition, anxiety, fear, worry, and yes lust. We crave what we don't have, and we don't want what we do have. We long for peace.

The peace of God is the opposite of all that the world has to offer.

The world's definition of peace is a state of tranquility, freedom from disturbance, and harmony in personal relations.

Who doesn't want that?

Now listen to the story of Jesus and the peace He offers you and me.

"And the angel said to them, 'Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!'" (Luke 2:10).

Jesus comes to give peace!
