BLESSINGS OF THE CROSS - DAY 21
Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing
causes them to stumble. PSALM 119:165
God has a plan for peace, and it is found
in His Son, whom the Bible calls the “Prince of Peace”
(Isa. 9:6). But we have rejected God’s plan. Wars still
ravage our world—and our lives.
Why? Jesus said the problem is within us. “Out
of the heart . . .proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,
murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness”
(Mark 7:21-22). What a list! Our real war is a rebellion
against God—and it brings unending misery.
But God longs to see this rebellion cease. That is
why Christ came. By His death He provided the way for
us to be reconciled to God. And when we have peace with
God, we have peace in our hearts—and peace with each
other.
This happens as we repent and receive Christ. The
war is over, for God extends a peace treaty to all who
come to Christ.
