Jesus is our peace. Did you know God offers serenity of heart to all believers? The Holy Spirit, who lives inside every follower of Christ, can keep peace flowing like sap from a vine to its branches (John 15:1-5). But sadly, many Christians overlook this endless source of calm because of certain false assumptions.
Some wrongly think that peace is the result of ideal conditions, but this world is far from perfect. That means we will never achieve the exact life we want on this earth, and its circumstances cannot provide us serenity.
Others believe peace must be requested from God, who seems far away in the heavens. But the union between the Lord and His followers is intimate. Tranquility is available to us immediately from Christ because He lives within us.
The Living Bible paraphrase captures how our relationship with Jesus should look: “And now just as you trusted Christ to save you, trust him, too, for each day’s problems; live in vital union with him. Let your roots grow down into him and draw up nourishment from him” (Colossians 2:6-7).
Serenity is a direct result of a relationship with Jesus Christ. No outside situation can tamper with that connection—we partake of Jesus’ abundant life through His Holy Spirit.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ephesians 1-3
MEDITATION: Nothing can take away the peace we have in Christ.
