JESUS, THE PRINCE OF PEACE!
Paul Dhinakaran
Dearly beloved,
On this day, our loving Lord Jesus Christ who is the Prince of peace is going to grant you His divine peace (Isaiah 9:6).
Jesus Christ says, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27).
Several years ago, a certain preacher stood up in a meeting to speak about the incomparable peace of God. A particular man from the audience got up and expressed his agony amidst sobs saying, Sir! It is wonderful to preach about divine peace. However, I cannot experience this divine peace in my life. He further questioned, I have just come to this meeting having buried my wife and children. Would you in my situation preach about the peace of God?
A few weeks later, the beloved wife of the preacher passed away. During the funeral service, he stood up and addressed the gathered saying, Sometime ago, a man questioned whether I would preach about the incomparable and divine peace of God when faced with a situation such as this. I would like to expound to my friend that God has filled me with His divine peace in abundance that a song springs forth from the depth of my heart.
That particular man who was present among the gathered got up and cried, I would like to receive this peace that God gives.
In 1 Peter 1:2, we read, "Grace and peace be yours in abundance."
My dearly beloved, we are the children of the Lord of the whole universe. And no evil that rises up against us shall prosper. Whether it be our place of work or anywhere else, our Almighty God shall protect us and give us His peace in the midst of crises. He will never leave you alone but He will grant you the peace that is in Him. Let not your heart be troubled.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
You are the source of life and peace for my life. Grant me the grace not to be anxious over anything but to bear in mind that You alone can calm the storms that arise in my daily life. Lord Jesus, as You have promised to give Your peace to Your children whose minds are fixed on You, grant me Your divine peace. Help me to find rest in You every moment. Grant me the assurance that You are with me ever moment of my life.
In Your matchless name I offer this prayer,
Amen.
