John 20:21 to 23,
“Again Jesus said,
"Peace be with you! As the Father
has sent me,
I am sending you. And with that he breathed on
them and said,
"Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive
anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they
are not forgiven."
Dear brothers
and sisters of the “Baroda bible club”,
Loving Greetings in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Today let me talk about the “Peace of God”
for this month of June what Jesus our deliverer is promising to give
unto us. Who is this Jesus? He is the Prince of Peace.
In John 20:21 to 23, “Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you!
First of all Jesus
is giving you this “Peace” that it may be with you in your life. If you ask me why he is
giving you this peace? It is not God’s will that you suffer with
out any peace of mind. It is not God’s will that you may live in
agony and fear each day. Jesus Christ also said in John 14:27 Peace
I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to
you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and
do not be afraid. So, first of all we must have this peace of
God in our life. Also Jesus told in John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that
in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Secondly, In John 20:21 to 23,
“Again Jesus said, As the Father has sent me, I am sending
you. Why he is giving us this peace in this peace-less world?
To send us to others as ambassadors of Peace. This peace what Jesus
Christ has given to us should not selfishly kept by us, because He
wants us to give this peace to others
who are living in this world without this peace, as it
is in Luke 10:5 "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' Also Jesus
told in Mat 10:13 “If the home is deserving, let your peace
rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. So we have to be an useful person in this world, as in Luke 1:79 “to shine on those living in darkness and in the
shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace."
Thirdly, we cannot do this job on our own strength without
the Holy Spirit of God so in John 20:21 to 23, “Again Jesus said, “And with that he breathed on them
and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. When you receive
the holy spirit we are receiving the comforter as in John 14:16 And
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be
with you forever—Also Jesus told in John 14:26 But the Counselor,
the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach
you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
Also in Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes
on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Fourthly, you cannot spread the peace
unless you forgive one another as Christ Jesus did on the cross.
In John 20:21 to 23,
If you forgive anyone his sins, they are
forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
Let us start forgiving all so that Jesus Christ may also do the same
unto us. So that our own peace what we have received from the Lord
will be preserved in all situation.
May the Lord help each one of us to
walk in the paths of righteousness to get the real peace and his guidance
in our life. In another words; let us become the real children of
God (of the prince of peace) by promoting the peace in this month
as in Mat 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called
sons of God. Have a nice peaceful month in Jesus name. Amen.
