Peace

I don't honestly know where most of you are at geographically, nor do I know what condition your body, mind, and spirit are in. Because I don't know what you may or may not be facing in life, it is hard to know what to write from time to time on this blog. Today is not one of those times.

You see, there is one thing which I can always write about which I know you are primed to hear. It is also something which we often do not hear enough. It is the Gospel. The good news of Jesus Christ, all He has done for us. 

Monday morning a verse caught my attention for its simple Gospel clarity.

"O Lord, you will ordain peace for us; you have done for us all our works." - Isaiah 26:12

Jesus, by doing all of the necessary works(fulfillment of the Law) for us, enables us to live in the peace which passes understanding(righteousness), before God our Father, the Perfect Judge. We are granted peace, because of the righteousness which Christ sowed on our behalf. Peace from the judgement of God. Peace from the weight of sin. Peace in the midst of life's struggles.

Walk this week in the peace which Jesus ordained, in doing all your works for you, and rejoice at what this means for you!
