God’s Peace

 

Luke 2:14 - Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 

  1. Vernon McGee explains this verse like this. We live in a wicked world. We live in a Satan–dominated world, and therefore there is no peace. There is, however, peace to men of good will. If you are one of those who has come to Christ and taken him as Savior, you can know this peace of God. Romans 5:1- states: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” When Christ came the first time, this is the kind of peace He brought. At His second coming He will come as the Prince of Peace; at that time, He will put down unrighteousness and rebellion in the world. He will establish peace on the earth. But until He comes again, there will be no peace on this earth.

Jesus put it like this in John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 

There is peace in trusting Christ as your Savior, there is peace in following Jesus as Lord and serving Him. Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

We may not understand it, but we can experience that peace that comes from knowing and following Jesus Christ.
