Peace

At our Sunday service Graeme Elliott spoke on Peace. Key verse: Isaiah Ch. 26 v.3, other readings from Mark Ch. 4 and Colossians Ch. 1.
In a world where there is no peace God promises peace to those who trust in Him and believe in His Son Jesus Christ; Jesus represents God to us in human form. We read in Mark Ch. 4 of Jesus with his followers in a storm. They are very afraid and look to Jesus for help, Jesus commands the wind to stop and calms the waves, and asks a searching question "Why are you so fearful. Why is it that you no faith?" Without faith the Bible tells us it is impossible to please God.
Jesus provides peace for us through the blood of His cross (Colossains Ch. 1). He died that we might know peace, everlasting peace with Him.
