Peace
Is it possible, do you think, to have peace without conflict?
When Christ says, 'peace l leave with you; my peace I give to you ... ' what is he saying?

Gandalf the Grey
Gandalf the Grey
But the last-comer was named among the elves Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgrim, for he dwelt in no place, and gathered to himself neither wealth nor followers, but ever went to and fro in the Westlands ... befriending all folk in times of need. Warm and eager was his spirit for he was the Enemy of Sauron, opposing the fire that devours and wastes with the fire that kindles, and succours in wanhope and distress; but his joy, and his swift wrath, were veiled in garments grey as ash, so that only those that knew him well glimpsed the flame that was within. Merry he could be, and kindly to the young and simple, and yet quick at times to sharp speech and the rebuking of folly; but he was not proud, and sought neither power nor praise, and thus far and wide he was beloved among all those that were not themselves proud. Mostly he journeyed unwearyingly on foot, leaning on a staff; and so he was called among Men of the North Gandalf, 'Elf of the Wand'.

I have recently been thinking about what "a peace that surpasses all understanding" means... and I have come to the conclusion that the kind of peace we have in Christ is a contentment with situations/trials. It doesn't make sense in the face of pain but what more can I hope for than to be content in the knowledge that Christ is in control?
ReplyDeleteAs for conflict... it is neccessary. Simply our sinful nature. Not our society, not our leaders... us. That is why God and his peace stand out so brightly in contrast.
