Jesus came to give us Peace. He is the Prince of Peace.
By accepting Christ, we enjoy peace with God, and peace within our soul.
But, mind you, NOT ALL KINDS of peace. In fact, many Christians are continuously troubled by other things! Believing in Christ does not give us peace in many other instances.
Luke 12:51-52 says "Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on 5 members in one household will be divided, 3 against 2, and 2 against 3...father against son, and son against father...."
Believing in Christ could divide the family, divide the community and divide the nation. Christianity, together with other religions, fragmented the world and spark wars.
But, I say again, by accepting Christ, we, the created, finally enjoy peace with God our creator, and hence peace within our soul.
God, thank you for this peace that surpasses all understanding. Sincerely.
