Stirred By The Scriptures

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Jesus said these things to the disciples in the hours before he went to the cross. Peace is an amazing concept that continues to elude the world. We seek it, long for it and find it slipping through our fingers. Conflict, fighting and war are in much greater abundance. When looking for peace we need only to look to Jesus, who gives us a peace that goes beyond the circumstances of our lives.
