Jesus
Christ is the only hope for peace in your heart.
We
are all in need of personal peace. “remember that at that time you
were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and
foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without
God in the world” (Ephesians
2:12).
The
Bible tells us that, without God, we are restless and unhappy (Isaiah
57:21)
but Jesus Himself is our peace (Ephesians
2:14).
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans
5:1).
We
find peace with God in surrender. Jesus told of a young man who
thought that it was unbearable to live under his father’s roof.
There were rules to follow, lots of work and too much responsibility.
He demanded a cash settlement of inheritance and set off to live the
fast life. He found life hard and cruel away from his father and
returned home broken and defeated (Luke
15:11-32).
Jesus
tells us: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle
and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my
yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew
11:29-30).
