January 6 DIETING PEACE from God
** PEACE ** I leave with you, says Jesus.
for living.... living.... LIVING .....
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
Ah.... so many things hurt us. So many things scare us.
So many things provide TEMPORARY comfort and peace,
like food & drink & TV & internet & even gossiping and shopping..... but
true peace "beyond human understanding" is available only through
the Prince of Peace, God's Son, Jesus, who came to earth out
of LOVE for you and desire to give you PEACE.
Hey, that's what the angels we just thought about during Christmas time had said....
God sends His Holy Spirit HIMSELF to help you....
"But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you."
-- Jesus, in the previous verse, John 14:26
And what did Jesus REPEATEDLY say?
"I love you." "I offer you peace."
ABOUT
GOD'S BIBLE:
“.....These
are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of God, and that believing you may have life in His name .”
--
Gospel of JOHN 20: 31
God's supporting words:
PEACE-- Jesus's PURPOSE in coming: Luke 1: 78 and 79"Through the tender mercy of our God" Jesus the Dayspring from on high has VISITED us To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace."
PEACE -- God was angry at church leaders and declared that He would VISIT his flock.
Zechariah 10:3, a PROPHECY of Jesus being God as Man come to earth to bring PEACE to His people the Jews in person.... and bringing it to the rest of us who have FAITH in Jesus. Wow. PEACE is ours when we have faith in Jesus.
Luke 8:48 And He said to her, "Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
Luke 7:50. Then He said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
PEACE is our when we DO NOT
have faith in Jesus, if we ask for His help:
Mark 9:24, a father who sought healing for his son was told by Jesus to "Have Faith" (verse 23). Exact wording Jesus said to him,
"If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."
the man replied tearfully, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!"
And INSTEAD of SCOLDING the man for lack of faith,
Jesus HEALED the boy immediately. Much peace and comfort to you from God on this day. From God who LOVES you and yearns for you to know PEACE. --DianaDee
