The peace that passes all understanding....

They are two types of peace. One is the peace that the world gives. This peace is superficial and passive. It is the absence struggles such as war, etc. Let us not be confused by the reference to war. The ending physical fighting between nation, sub national groups, or individuals. while very important, Is only the stopping of physical attacks. True peace is in the heart and it is from God. Those who have not accepted Christ into the core of they souls, as they Lord and Savior can know only the peace that comes from the absence of emotional, verbal, or physical conflict. Without Christ in the core of your soul you can not know the peace that passes understanding i.e. the peace that the Savior gives, Ephesians 2:14. The peace that our Savior gives is a deep and active peace. His peace fills us full of joy. It drives to share Him with our fellow humans so that they can know "that peace that passes all understanding Philippians 4: 6-7. His peace was with Steven when he became the first martyr. That everlasting peace that passes all understanding was with apostle Paul when he was beaten, shipwrecked, and behead. We can have that peace that passes understanding. But, to have it we must trust Jesus, if necessary even unto death, as Steven and the apostle Paul did. If you are reading this blog I appeal to you. Do not delay in coming to Jesus. You may think that another 80-100 years. Do not deceive yourself you could within the next second.
He loves you and is calling you to to the peace that passes all understanding. He wants to give you life everlasting (John 3: 16). Try to imagine this, by the grace of God you have been with your Savior a trillion times a trillion Earth Years. That unimaginable span of times will have no meaning when compared to eternity.
