Transcendence of Peace
"And may the God of Peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you].
(1 Thessalonians 5:23-24)
As we close the last chapter of the old year what better way to open a new page in the new year, in-God's Peace. The peace of God is not as the peace the world gives. The peace of God is wholeness, soundness, complete, nothing missing and nothing broken. In other words it is restoration complete.
When Jesus defeated death and arose from the grave, He appeared in the midst of His disciples and declared to them, "Peace be with you." Jesus has taken every weakness, sickness, grief, pain, wrong and broken thing that He bore for you and I to the Cross and and restored us back to wholeness by His Resurrection. When you come to Him and give Him of your life -- "Peace be with you" -- is what He declares over you. He restores every wrong and broken thing in your life back to wholeness. Complete health in all spectrum of your life.
So when you accept God's Way as your way of life you step into the arena of His Peace. And His ways will draw you away from, set you apart from the ways of darkness, bondage and brokenness -- into His arena of Wholeness, Soundness and Complete Health -- in your spirit, in your soul (mental and emotional), in your physical body (physically, financially and socially).
Complete and Absolute Wholeness, Soundness and Health.
So begin your new page in God's Peace in this new year. He is faithful to His Word.
