What brings you peace?

Jesus Christ is often referred to as the “Prince of Peace.” This title, found in Isaiah 9:6, encapsulates the profound sense of tranquillity and harmony that I a believer find in relationship with Him.

Here’s how Jesus brings me peace:

1. Forgiveness and Reconciliation

• Atoning Sacrifice: Jesus’ death on the cross reconciled humanity with God, offering forgiveness for sins. This removes the burden of guilt and shame, fostering inner peace.
• Reconciliation with Others: Jesus teaches us to forgive others as we have been forgiven. This promotes harmony in relationships, leading to greater peace.

2. Presence and Assurance

• Constant Companion: Jesus promises to be with His followers always, providing comfort and reassurance. Knowing He is present brings a sense of security and peace.
• Hope for the Future: Jesus offers hope for eternal life, transcending earthly troubles and providing ultimate peace.

3. Inner Strength and Resilience

• Holy Spirit: Through the Holy Spirit, believers receive strength, wisdom, and guidance to face life’s challenges with peace.
• Overcoming Trials: Jesus equips us to endure trials with grace and perseverance, leading to a deeper sense of peace.

4. A Model of Peace

• Peaceful Life: Jesus exemplified peace in His life, even in the midst of suffering. His example inspires us to cultivate peace in our own lives.
• Peacemaking: Jesus taught His followers to be peacemakers, actively working to reconcile and bring harmony to others.
  Ultimately, peace with Jesus is a gift, a fruit of the Spirit, and a journey. It is a deep-rooted sense of tranquillity that surpasses understanding, even in the midst of life’s storms.
