JESUS: THE LORD OF PEACE

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way.

Thessalonians 3:16

Jesus is the Lord of Peace. As Lord He is Master, so Jesus is the Master of peace. His nature is peace, so when He awoke in a boat in the middle of a violent storm, Jesus commanded the winds, “Peace be still” (Mark 4:39). When Jesus died on the cross for your sins, He made peace between God and sinners. Now because of Jesus, you can have “peace with God” (Romans 5:1). Since you are a Christian, Jesus can calm your fears and soothe your anxieties. He can give you the “peace of God” (Philippians 4:7). Do you need peace in our heart today?

Lord, I come to You. Thank You for saving me and giving me

the peace with God. Thank You for living in my heart to give me

the peace of God. Come be the Master of my heart.

Jesus is the Lord of Peace. No other religious leader can give peace, as Jesus gives, because peace of heart doesn’t come from humans; it comes from God. No activity can give heart peace, unless it has Jesus as its focus. Money, fame or earthly power cannot give you peace in this life or the life to come. If you want contentment, satisfaction, and deep inner joy, come to Jesus. He is the Lord of Peace.

Lord Jesus, I need Your peace to settle my fears for this day.

Take control of my thinking and settle my mind. Help me look

at life through Your perspective. Amen.

Reading: Ephesians 2:11-22

Key Thought: Jesus can give you peace because He is the Lord of Peace.
