World peace vs. God's peace

The world offers many kinds of peace, most of it temporary at best.  There are false teachers roaming around the earth, people who claim to be Christians who are not, and are offering people a 'peaceful, stress-free life' if they just follow them.  Be careful friends of these type people and religions.  


Jesus has already commanded that He has overcome the world.  There will never be true peace that we will share unless and until we confess our sins and give our life to Christ.  That's when a peace that passes all human understanding will be a part of your world.


Don't get me wrong, world peace is a beautiful idea, but one that will only come to be when Jesus returns.  


Our job until then is to convince our family and friends to give their life to Christ; be borne again and live a life that God requires.  And someday soon, we will bask in the glory of God's goodness and everlasting peace.


John 16:33 - "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."
