PEACE

There is nothing more peaceful than a baby
resting on his mother's shoulder with his eyes
closed. It reminds me of the words of a song
"Rest in the Lord, Oh troubled soul, lean on
the arms of His care...whatever your lot, it
matters not for nothing can trouble you there"

Just before Jesus was to be taken away to die
on the cross, He said to his disciples "Let not
your heart be troubled...peace I leave with you
my peace I give unto you". In this world of
turmoil, heart ache and trouble you may have
peace that comes from Jesus. That peace was
purchased for you when Jesus died on the
cross, arose from the dead and is ascended
into heaven at the right hand of His Father.

" But now in Christ Jesus you who were far
off are made near by the blood of Christ. For
He is our peace...having abolished in his
flesh the enmity, even the law of command-
ments contained in ordinances; for to make
in himself of two one new man, so making
peace; And that he might reconcile both
unto God in one body by the cross, having
slain the enmity thereby; And came and
preached peace to you". Ephesians 2:13-17
