Possibility of Peace

 

Ezekiel 13:10 - Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace;

There was a reason World War One was called the “Great War” ---it was the largest, costliest war in human history. To ensure such a war never happened again, the League of Nations was created in 1920 to maintain world peace through negotiations, disarmament, settling of disputes through the justice system, and other means. Unfortunately, World War Two proved the League lacked the ability to keep the peace, and it was replaced in 1945 by the United Nations---which has also failed to bring peace on earth.

There is nothing wrong with trying to create peace. Indeed the Apostle Paul wrote, Romans 12:18 – “If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.” Whether others seek the same peace is beyond our control. But regardless of what is happening around us, we can have the peace of God.  Philippians 4:7 – “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” 

As you turn your attention to the birth of Christ this month, let His peace be birthed in your heart. What is impossible with man is certainly possible with God.
