Everlasting Peace

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace . . .
â€”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.

PROVOKING POSITIVE CHANGE

Change is one event that is constant in life. Change denotes movement from one state to another. There are two categories of change: positive and negative. Due to the fact that change can either be positive or negative, Africans would say: "Change is good for the poor but bad for the rich". Change in life is...More
