Peace is more than carrying a cardboard sign in a demonstration against war. Peace is more than a emblem on a tee shirt or necklace. Peace is more than a drug or booze induced state. Peace, real peace is what only Jesus can give to us.
Jesus gives us the truth about peace. In John 14:27, He says: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Jesus says He is the one who gives peace. His peace is not like the world's peace. He is the Prince of Peace. His peace in not in checking out with drugs or alcohol. You don't have to hold a demonstration to get it. Wearing a tee shirt or a necklace with the world's peace sign on it won't bring it into your heart.
Your heart has to let it come in. Your heart has to be sick and tired of all the useless attempts you have made just to" have some peace". When you decide to "let" Jesus, the Prince of Peace come in and rule your life, He will flood into you like a tsunami with real eternal peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding. You will be left wondering. Why did I wait? How did I miss this great peace?... Jesus Christ.
If you need peace, just go to Him. Talk to Him about your life and ask for His peace to fill you up. He wants you to have it because He knows you need it. We can take off the tee shirts and necklace. Today we can put down the cardboard sign and receive real peace. Jesus.
