Scripture teaches that peace and safety will not come in any lasting way until the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, comes and rules and reigns in our world. The world doesn’t give peace, for it doesn’t have any peace to give. It fights for peace, it negotiates for peace, it maneuvers for peace, but there is no ultimate peace in the world. To be a peacemaker, we must know the Peace-Giver.
Our future does not hinge on the world’s situation, however grim it might become. It depends solely on what happened over 2,000 years ago at the cross and peoples’ acceptance or rejection of the Prince of Peace.
For people who have submitted their lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, there is coming a day where they will see the Prince of Peace reign in the New Jerusalem. God’s glory will illumine every street and we will walk in the peace of His presence. May every soul reading this declaration give their hearts to the King of kings today. Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace” (John 16:33).
