Peace is out
there. It’s an achievable notion to
strive for. But in the uproar of the
world we live in, we often are left empty searching for true peace.
True peace can
only be found in Jesus Christ. I was
amazed at the peace of Jesus when reading the Bible this week. In the story of Jesus calming a storm we
learn about true peace. It is found in
Matthew 8:23-27, Mark 4:35-41 and Luke 8:22-25.
It was
fascinating to see the calm and peace that Jesus had during the storm. So much so that he was sleeping through waves
breaking in and water filling the boat – besides the commotion that was coming
from the fearful men aboard!
After the men
woke Jesus up – he immediately calmed the storm! In an instant the waves and the wind were
gone.
In life, storms are
inevitable. Wind and waves are
constantly crashing around us. What if
we found true peace in Jesus Christ? I
believe in an instant it would calm the storm.
Mark 4:39, “And
he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Peace! Be still!’
And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”
The next time a
storm arrives – I’m declaring “Peace!”
My faith is in Jesus Christ, the only one who gives true peace.
