If there is one thing that people say they want most
in the world, it is PEACE, but what is peace?
Popular perception is that 'peace'
means 'Lack Of Conflict' and while
that is true, a deeper definition
of peace is WHOLENESS.
You see, the opposite of PEACE is PIECES,
so just as conflict divides people, true peace brings people
together into WHOLENESS, and this is what Jesus meant when he said:
“I am leaving you with a gift—
Peace of Mind and Heart.
The peace I give is a gift
The world cannot give.
Do not be troubled or afraid.”
John 14:27
This is why as today’s scripture verse says we
must pursue and seek peace for the sake of people and
the entire world, and that True Peace is only found
from heaven above and not from earth below. That’s why Jesus said
two verses earlier in John 14:26 that
He would send the Holy Spirit and that
He Will TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and that message is
teaching wholeness to people and to a divided, broken world.
Friend, seek peace and pursue it, because the wholeness
that His perfect peace begins in you will bring you from
this life to the next...and will also help bring the TRUE PEACE
of WHOLENESS to the world.
