John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace....
Remember the old song that says "Peace, peace, wonderful peace.." or how about the one that says "He whispered sweet peace to me..."? One of my favorites was one that said "This peace that I have, the world can't take it away......the world didn’t give it to me, and the world can't take it away"! True peace is found ONLY in Him. There is no other person or substance that can ease the soul and settle the heart like the Spirit of Christ. It really can't be described, and if you've never trusted in Christ for salvation, it is hard to even grasp what I'm saying today..........but I can try and help you. You see all of the weight that you often feel pressing down hard upon your shoulders.......that is the weight of sin, and there is nothing that we can do in ourselves to remove that weight. Now it sometimes seems to help temporarily when we do great deeds, or give to worthy charities, but that feeling soon fades away and the weight is back. Now imagine that weight, that guilt that comes from a lifetime of sinful words, thoughts and actions, suddenly being lifted from your shoulders! No more guilt! No more condemnation! FREEDOM! That is the peace that is only found in Him. He would love to remove the weight for you today, just ask. Amen
