If There Is One Thing That People Say They Want Most In The World, It Is PEACE, But What Is Peace?

If there is one thing that people say they want most in the world, it is PEACE, but what is peace?

Popular perception is that 'peace' means 'Lack Of Conflict' and while that is true, a deeper definition of peace is WHOLENESS.

You see, the opposite of PEACE is PIECES, so just as conflict divides people, true peace brings people together into WHOLENESS, and this is what Jesus meant when he said:

“I am leaving you with a gift— Peace of Mind and Heart. The peace I give is a gift The world cannot give. Do not be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27

This is why as today’s scripture verse says we must pursue and seek peace for the sake of people and the entire world, and that True Peace is only found from heaven above and not from earth below. That’s why Jesus said two verses earlier in John 14:26 that He would send the Holy Spirit and that He Will TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and that message is teaching wholeness to people and to a divided, broken world.

Friend, seek peace and pursue it, because the wholeness that His perfect peace begins in you will bring you from this life to the next...and will also help bring the TRUE PEACE of WHOLENESS to the world.

The difficult part for people that have been deceived is that they don’t realize that they have been deceived, and even more difficult is convincing them they Are Deceived.

You see, TRUTH is truth, and that means it’s not what you think is truth, what someone is telling you is truth, or what everybody else believes is truth. It is not determined by popular vote, popular culture, or popular movements. When what is believed to be truth is not true, it is a LIE, and once you believe the lie, you are and have been deceived, and in fact so well deceived that it becomes a lie to believe that you have been deceived.

If that is the case, how is it possible to know what is true and not a lie? And the answer is 'Consider The Source.'

Jesus said a good tree puts out good fruit, but a bad tree evil fruit. Jesus also said that Satan is “The Father of LIES” and that he does not stand for truth nor is there any truth in him. If you want to tell truth from lies, look at the people, principles and practices that surround that idea. Are they Good & Righteous? Productive & Profitable? Are they bearing forth fruits of peace and wholeness - or diversity and division?

Friend, if you are deceived, the only way you can see truth is to turn your ears to the father of truth, and away from the father of lies.

This short message can’t do that, but you can if you decide to change your mind about what you believe and why you believe it.

There is a reliable source of truth out there, and it is from the tree that always bears GOOD FRUIT.

Seek the fruit from that tree, and you’ll always find THE TRUTH. (John 10:10)

Sometimes things are 'hidden' from us because what we’ve heard was so preposterous as to not be believable. Such was the case with Jesus’ followers as he was about to make his triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The anticipation of all was that He was the Messiah, and as the King of Israel he’d overthrow the occupying Romans and usher in the new kingdom. Instead Jesus tells them:

“The Son Of Man will be BETRAYED…they will CONDEMN him to death…and MOCK and spit on him.” Mark 10:33

As today’s verse from the Gospel of Luke implies they just 'Didn’t Get It' and ESPECIALLY did not get the many times previously that he told them that he would be crucified, die, be buried — and then Rise From The Dead.

If you are like the fellow on the right, you 'Get That' but for many like the fellow on the left, this makes absolutely no sense, and is in fact NONSENSE.

Friend, while this may seem preposterous, this is the heart of the Gospel — plain and simple:

Jesus Christ was God made man and came to earth to deliver and save us from sin and death. At the cross he died, and by the sacrifice of his blood paid the price for the sins of ALL who would simply believe and confess this as TRUE. For those that do, by his grace he gives eternal life and frees all from the condemnation of both physical and spiritual death.

Is the idea that Christ died, was raised from the dead, and now is alive TRUE?

...or is it still “Hidden From You?”

If you saw a sign that said MINEFIELD but someone offered you a map that guaranteed a safe way around it, would you choose to take that route? Of course your would…that is, unless you didn’t believe that that map was any good.

In this story the Bible is the map, the minefield is the passage through this world. Sadly, the tragedy is given this offer many don’t even want to look at that map or even consider that they need any help. Instead as Jeremiah 18:12 said:

“We will walk after our own devices and We will do everyone after the Stubbornness of his evil heart.”

No matter HOW carefully they choose to go their own way, instead it will always guarantee a deadly eternal end.

Friend, Jesus said “I am The Way” and “Follow Me,” and for all those that believe the sure word of God and follow in the steps of Christ will have a safe passage through and beyond this life that is GUARANTEED.

Will you 'Walk After Your Own Way' or follow Christ who is THE WAY?.

Some things must be 'Either-OR...'

It’s either AM or PM, possible or impossible, or new or used. And right now you’re either alive or dead — (but there is a 100% chance if you’re reading this it is the former rather than the latter!)

Likewise you can Agree or Disagree for something to be TRUE or FALSE and today’s verse is a perfect example.

Historians all agree that it is true that Christ existed, but the #1 contention about this historical event is “Did Jesus Christ REALLY Rise From The Dead?” — and that is either TRUE or FALSE.

The Bible says that everyone that declares and believes that 'shall be saved,' but what you think about this is Entirely Up To YOU.

Friend, is the resurrection of Christ from the dead TRUE, or is it FAKE NEWS.

Only you can answer that question.
