BACK TO BASICS – TENSION & PEACE
The Bible has much to say about peace. You may have heard Jesus referred to as the prince of peace. Sometimes the Gospel is referred to as the Gospel of peace. In the book of Colossians, chapter 1, we learn that peace comes through Christ — and it was all made possible because He was willing to pay the penalty for the sins that you and I have committed. Listen to these encouraging words, spoken by Christ taken from the book of John chapter 16:
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

If you have placed your faith in Christ, trust that in every situation, He is victorious! Instead of fussing and fretting, remember to turn to Him in prayer. Allow the prince of peace to comfort you. And if you’ve not yet trusted in Christ, let today be the day that you stop running — stop resisting — and trust in the one who can bring lasting peace.
