2. Why is Peace Important?

We were created to live in perfect peace

This is what Adam and Eve experienced -Why

Because they had perfect communion “koinonia” with God

Nothing between, complete trust,

Peace is an indication that all is well

Created for peace

Offend =cause to fall or stumble

ps 119:

God is looking for us to be in harmony and agreement with him

This is only possible through a relationship

3. David Understood Peace

He learned this -he had to run from Saul for many years, but he likely learned this first when he was out with the sheep

Henry Gruver -made a decision to sleep in peace

4. Jesus Brought Real Peace

During this season of the year we think of Christ coming to earth as a baby.

It was prophesied by Isaiah that one of his names is Prince of Peace.

A sign of this was also the angels proclaiming the birth of Jesus, by speaking “peace.”

Is 9:6-7

Let's consider how this looked to the Jews at the time of Jesus.

They were looking for Deliverer a man that would bring peace through force.

Someone who would deliver them from the rule of the Romans and establish an earthly kingdom.

A Prince of Peace who rules with earthly authority.

In the natural Jesus looked like a failure.

He didn't bring peace to the area.

He even said that he didn't come to bring peace, but a sword!

People's relationships were divided.

People stopped following the religious rulers.

Jesus left the world with 11 disciples and 120 who were willing to wait in an upper room for the Spirit of God to come upon them.

However, in the spirit, Jesus was the Prince of Peace.

I don't believe any man ever walked in the same amount of peace that Jesus did.

Why?

Because peace is a result of perfect wholeness and health.

Jesus' relationship with God was complete and perfect.

Jesus came to bring us into perfect relationship with God

Chastisement =punishment, correction

He endured chastisement so that we can walk in peace!

Spirit->Soul->Body

5.

There is a False Peace

The false prophets were known for prophesying peace when God didn’t send them

This can be seen in Isaiah , Jeremiah and Ezekiel.

Paul also warned us of a time when people will proclaim peace:

We must be on guard against peace that bypasses the need to have peace with God!

The world or people who are natural minded, also desire peace and they go about attempting to create peace

Some attempt to get peace through uniformity -focusing on making things agree or harmonize in the natural.

Sometimes things are forced.

We see this a lot in religion.

This only brings an illusion of peace.

Those who are carnal believe that peace and order in the external will result in peace on the inside of man, but it never truly does.

Lack of peace is first spiritual.

It is the fact that we are disconnected from God.

This disconnection brings chaos, confusion, fear and turmoil.

6. Perfect Peace is available for each of us

Harmony with God and others Everything in perfect order Complete and total trust in God Wholeness and Completeness

Peace in our spirit is a sign of our faith toward God and our agreement with Him

Peace in our soul is a result of peace in our spirit and harmony and order in our relationships

The world or people who are carnal, also desire peace and they go about attempting to create peace

They attempt to get peace through uniformity -focusing on making things agree or harmonize in the natural.

Sometimes things are forced.

We see this a lot in religion.

This only brings an illusion of peace.

Those who are carnal believe that peace and order in the external will result in peace on the inside of man, but it never truly does.

Our lack of peace is first spiritual.
