Recap the book:
Faithful Church
Persecution
Confusion over the DOL
Idleness
Peace
I wrote it
Grace
Three things that the people need.
We see this in light of what he wrote in this letter but Paul closes this letter as he began it:
Paul desires the members of the Church to have grace and peace.
We have spent much time in other sermons looking at grace so today I want spend a little time on peace before we put this book on the shelf for a while.
Lord of peace
authority and ownership of this needed peace.
Lord of Peace - Judges 6:24
Prince of Peace - Is. 9:6
Shepherd of Peace - Micah 5:4-5
King of Peace - Zech 9:10
All through Scripture we see that there is a peace that is ruled by Jesus.
It is His to do with as He wills.
Yet Paul in his prayer asks the Lord of peace to,
himself give you peace
this peace is not found in this world because it come from heaven.
This is why Jesus said to the disciples,
GOSPEL - For those who know the Lord of Peace they can have peace with God and from God.
Hiking and headwaters
How often do we look for the cool waters of the river of peace at the wrong headwaters?
We go to the headwaters of:
comfort
leisure
hobby
escape
substances
instead of going to the throne of Jesus where all good blessings flow from.
Jesus rules over this peace and supplies it.
Yet, Paul makes one more statement about this peace and that Jesus himself give it,
at all times in every way
Painting: Peace in the midst of the storm by Jack Dawson
This picture illustrates a point we need to know about the peace that God gives.
His peace is not a change in our circumstances but a change in our heart, while the circumstances rage around us.
This is why Paul can say that this given peace is for all circumstances, it causes internal change, not external.
So let’s circle back now to Paul’s closing prayer,
For a Church that is,
under persecution
in theological anxiety
is tension over members actions
they need
peace that passes all understanding
a grace that motivates them to walk while they wait for the Lord.
We need the same thing today,
Suffering
Anxiety
Stress
Questions
Attacks from the evil one
If Paul were to pray for GV today I believe he would pray for grace and peace from God for us so today this is what we need to pray.
