Wisdom and Peace

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who show in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. James 3:17-18 

Peace, how we hope and long for that. James tells us the way: live in peace with your neighbor. Speak good of your neighbor, do not have bad thoughts of him or her. Wisdom from heaven is full of mercy to your neighbor, you do not hate or use ruthless words when talking about your neighbor. Are we living like a wise man or women or do we have violent and wicked thoughts in our hearts? We can always come to Jesus Christ and ask forgiveness and start a new life with Him. He will give us the Holy Spirit and a new mind to live in peace with our neighbor. Who then is our neighbor? Not only those who are living in our community or are our relatives or friends, but all people who God had created even those who we do not love. Are you living in peace? Jesus Christ is our Peace. "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Peace with God

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. Rom 5:1-2 

Looking for peace with God, are your god distant and hard, are you trying to conciliate your god with your gifts, deeds, and offerings? Where does your god live? The Holy Bible says us that we have peace with God our Farther through faith, what is faith? Our faith is in Jesus Christ our Lord, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.", Joh 3:16-17. Do you believe this? You do not have a distant and angry god, instead you can look at Jesus Christ and ask Him to save you from your miseries and troubles, and He will come and give you eternal life and all your sins are washed away, you will be a new creation: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" 2 Cor 5:17. Jesus Christ lives in his words in the Holy Bible, and among His Church.

Peace in Jesus

I have told you things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have troubles. But take heart! I have overcome the world. John 16: 33

Peace? In Jesus Christ, my Lord and God. Jesus came to the world to bring hope and peace for those who are poor, miserable and hopeless and without any help. Jesus died for us, went to heaven to God, to his Farther and to our Farther, and now Jesus lives in His Words in the Holy Bible and sent us His Spirit so that we can understand what He is speaking to us (1 John 1: 1-4). Even though there is darkness around us, Jesus words are shining in the darkness, lighting our paths and teaching us (2 Peter 1: 19-21; Psalm 27: 11). We can receive peace in Jesus and He can lead us beside quiet waters, to green pastures and restore our souls (Psalm 23).

Peace

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all.The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by payer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:4-7

Why my soul is anxious and full of troubles, where is my God who can help me, who can calm my restless? My soul is like a storming lake, where is my Jesus? Jesus comes quietly and calms the storm (Matt 8:23-27), he comes in his Word gently and asks: what do you want me to do for you? Jesus is in the Holy Bible (Joh 1:1-13), in His Church, and hears your voice and your prayers even though you cannot formulate your petitions properly (Rom 8:26-27). Jesus is your Lord and your friend, looking at His face you can see our God Father, loving and caring Farther who is just waiting for you to help you (Luke 15:11-31) and to save you (Psalm 18:16-19). Rejoice my soul!
