Peace

Often times, when hostility exists between two parties, a mediator is needed to stand in between the two parties and bring reconciliation. 

The mediator’s sole job is to restore peace between the two, to bring flourishing back into their lives. 

Why so often people have a hard time realizing the hostility that exist? Before I knew Christ my mind raced with the knowledge that I wasn’t as good as I could be. The pain of other peoples wrong choices affected me. I also hurt others. Even the good Id do, wasn’t good enough. Sadly my striving for accomplishments or status ended up in disappointments. 

 But truly I didn’t know my need for a savior because I always saw people worse off than I was. Doing things that were worse than I did.It wasn’t until I realize God is holy. His perfectness —demands actually requires perfection. I cannot even enter into his presence as I was. But His love called to me and I wanted him as My father. 

That’s when love came in. That’s when Jesus who knew everything I have done: my intentions, my motives, my heart, and yet he still died for me. 

My selfishness and self centered  couldn’t be in his presence. But if I Accepted  his free gift of being my prince of peace —reconciling me to a holy God a relationship with HIM began for  all eternity. 

During Christmas time is when I found out about this good news. I just wanted to let others know (my friend my family) that You too have an opportunity to experience the peace of God through the king who IS and will be Prince of Peace.

Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you.” (John 14:27)

Jesus said, “My peace I give to you.” (John 14:27)

Jesus said, “in me you may have peace.” (John 16:33)

Jesus is that Mediator. Jesus is the one who would stand between God and mankind in order to restore peace, to reconcile our relationship with God. When Jesus was born, peace came into our world!
