Jesus did not bring peace to the world. When he spoke to the rabbis and teachers of the day, He shook up their world. They grumbled against Him and about Him.
He only brought peace to the individual lives of the people who chose to follow and obey Him. People who chose to have a relationship with Him.
Today, many churches focus on bringing peace to the world and everyone living in harmony and unity. But when they do that, they begin to compromise the Word of God.
If we want to be like Jesus, we need to shake up the “norm” that is out there.
We need to bring peace to the individual lives of hurting people, not try to accomplish peace by accepting everything that comes our way.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a God that wants to see things happen, but only when we do it His way. He is a jealous God.
Let’s listen to Him today and bring peace into the lives of those around us. Speaking the Truth in love and bringing them into a closer relationship with the Living God.
