Notes:
Our definition of peace is impossible to experience in the real world.
Peace: Freedom from Disturbance or a State of Tranquility
In a world that is broken, and where everyone is flawed, Conflict and Chaos become unavoidable.
Aiming at the impossible sets us up to be continuously disappointed.
Jesus’s Peace:
A wholeness, a wellness, and a completeness of every area of life
We want PEACE:
- Inner Peace
- Relational Peace
- Practical Peace
- Spiritual Peace
Peace with CREATOR
Peace with OURSELVES
Peace with OTHERS
Peace with WORLD
“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
- Matthew 22:37-40
Trying to manufacture a peace with creation…without having peace with our Creator leads to failure and futility.
Only our Creator can answer these:
Who am I meant to be?
What am I meant to do?
How do I live out who and what I am?
Problem: All are naturally disconnected from our Creator.
God: Perfect & Holy
Us: Flawed & Sinful
For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
- Colossians 1:19-22
…Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault…
- Colossians 1:19-22
Who am I meant to be?
What am I meant to do?
How do I live out who and what I am?
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
- 1st John 3:1
Who am I meant to be?
What am I meant to do?
How do I live out who and what I am?
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but ALSO the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
- Philippians 2:4-5
Who am I meant to be?
What am I meant to do?
How do I live out who and what I am?
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
- John 13:34
Peace with God through Jesus gives us the needed foundation to have peace with rest of creation!
