The world cries for peace constantly. Thoughts of fighting for it, manipulating situations for it, and creating false peace abounds. But how can we really have peace from the war that rages inside of our minds?
Well, I never want to give simple Sunday School answers to anything, but in this case it is as simple as that. Philippians 4:8 tells us how to usher in the God of peace. In this verse we are told that whatever is true (Jesus), whatever is honorable (Jesus), whatever is right (Jesus), whatever is pure (Jesus), whatever is lovely (Jesus), whatever is of good repute (Jesus), if there is any excellence (Jesus), anything worthy of praise (Jesus), dwell on these things. It goes on to tell us to practice these things and the God of peace will be with us.
Jesus is the answer to all those things. He is the Truth, the honorable One, is always right, always pure, truly lovely, is of good repute, is excellent, and certainly the only One worthy of praise.
So I guess...it all comes back to Jesus.
Think about it,
