For most people, believers or not,
Christmas is a time to seek answers to
life’s questions. Sometimes we wonder,
“Why am I here, why are we born and
die.” For most questions, only God has
the answers. But one thing I know, God
loves us so much that His Son was born
two thousand years ago and paid in full
the gift of peace for His children. God
would have done that for you and me if
we had been the only persons on earth. I
take comfort to hear Christ say, “But now
in Christ Jesus you who were sometimes
far off are made near by the blood of
Christ.” That promise is for everyone.
1 Peter 2:13
One Sunday afternoon, just as the
evening service was starting, one of our
young men came in and asked, “Pastor,
will you come to see my Granny? She has
been incoherent and restless all day.”
As I walked into her room, she at once
became quiet in spirit and I heard her
say, “The pastor is here.” Jesus is the true
Pastor of our heart and soul. Even in the
Presence of death, He gives Peace. If you
are searching for more faith, our Lord
gives enough faith for the burdens of the
day. When you face tomorrow’s problems
you will find that your faith is sufficient.
Jesus has the answer to every need for the
believer. Praise Him for that Gift of
Peace.
Father, thank you for your gift of faith
even before we ask.
Amen
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 KJV
