INTRODUCTION.
A Declaration of Peace = The Birth of Jesus Christ.
Peace = A state of tranquility or wholeness; shalom.
MESSAGE.
I. Jesus removes the Dysfunction.
Injustice is more than a political dysfunction.
It is a spiritual evil, a denial of God.
And by now the mess we’ve made is so far advanced, so systemic, so overwhelming, it’s beyond our powers of correction.
Raymond C. Ortlund Jr.; R. Kent Hughes.
In John 16:29-33, records a conversation between Jesus and his disciple, Not long before Jesus went to the cross.
Jesus has just finished promising the Holy Spirit, foretold of His death and resurrection, and promised answered prayer.
Now Jesus was telling about believing in Him and having peace.
John 16:29-33.
The disciples were going to be scattered.
The disciples were going to desert Jesus.
We can have tribulation and yet still have peace in Jesus.
What is the church?
It’s a chosen gathering of unfinished people, still grappling with the selfishness of sin and the seduction of temptation, living in a fallen world, where there is deception and dysfunction all around.
Paul Tripp
II.
Jesus removes the Disunity.
In Ephesians 2:11-22.
Paul was writing to the Ephesians on how to be truly alive.
To be alive one must be alive in Christ.
Disunity may perhaps be the ultimate worldliness, since it means accepting that we are defined, in the last analysis, by something other than the love of God in Jesus Christ.
N. T. Wright
Seperation.
Restoration.
One Family.
III.
Jesus removes the Disruption.
So sin is the disruption of a personal relationship, and it brings further disruption.
John Frame.
In Colossians 1:15-20.
Disruption in relationship with God.
Disruption in communication with God.
While a true believer cannot lose his union with the Spirit, he can interrupt his communion with the Spirit.5
And sin is the great disruption to communion with God.
Like unplugging the cord to your computer, sin cuts us off from the source of power.
Todd Wilson.
Disruption in the Disruption.
CONCLUSION.
It is time that we Christians awake to the fact that the world cannot help us in anything that matters.
Not the educators nor the legislators nor the scientists can bring us tranquillity of heart, and without tranquillity whatever else they give us is useless at last.3
A. W. Tozer.
Jesus is our Peace.
Jesus removes the:
Dysfunction.
Disunity.
Disruption.
The only way to true peace is through Jesus our gift from God.
true peace =
Tranquility with God
Wholeness with God.
