The Path to Peace
Rabbi Shaul tells us that before we can experience God’s peace we must have
peace with God! He writes to the Romans,
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).
It is through the death of Yeshua that God made atonement for our sin and
forgives our sin…forever! We are no longer His enemies, but have become His
beloved children. I am sure the great Rabbi Shaul based his understanding on
the words of Isaiah the prophet, who wrote,
How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who
announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation,
and says to Zion, “Your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7).
You have now met quite a few Jewish people who have come to know Jesus
as their Messiah. Jewish people have come to faith through these accounts in
Israel, among the elderly Holocaust survivors, and in the heart of Orthodox
Jewish Brooklyn. They are young and old…those with deep experiences in life
and others just beginning their pilgrimage on earth.
The common testimony of those I have met now coming to faith is that they
now have peace! You can see it on their smiling faces!
I hope that you will turn to the Messiah and Prince of Peace today and tell
Him from your heart that you want Him to come into your life and to make
peace in the depths of your soul. Tell Him you have sinned, that you believe
Yeshua died and rose for your sin and that you are determined to follow Him
from this moment on as He enables you by His grace.
And now,
May the Lord bless you, and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you, and
be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance on you, and give you peace.
(Numbers 6:24-26).
