Waiting for Peace
In Matthew 10: 34, Jesus says to His disciples “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.”
Let us not fool or confuse ourselves on the purpose of the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. There can never be peace on earth until all the sins, iniquities, and transgressions that are in this world is wiped away completely. That is why our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, came to bring a sword, Himself, the Word of God, to defeat the evil and wickedness of the world, and conquer the enemy once and for all. Until all evil and wickedness is cast into the fiery pit of eternal damnation, there will not be peace on earth, because Jesus Christ, our Lord, is the Prince of Peace. Without the Prince of Peace living in each and everyone one of us, there cannot be peace anywhere. When we think we are at peace, the enemy is always orchestrating a plan to devour us. Be watchful and stand guard.
