Spirit of Peace ...
Monday, March 6, 2017. If your read political news today, you can be quite upset. Some of us are upset about president Trump, others are upset about those who criticize him. Others are upset about the Brexit. Some are upset about those who do not want the Brexit. There is a lot of turmoil and trouble on this political level. But it is not only in the political arena.
Searching for Peace …
Our work environment can be full of tension. It is about who gets what type of leadership position. It is about the way we treat each other. Misunderstanding and the fear of others can be parts of our life, with a lot of weight. It can fill our thoughts, our emotions, our dreams, our days.
The spirit of God is the spirit of peace. How urgently do we need this spirit on all levels of our life. Let us read a part of the letter of the apostle Paul to the church in Corinth, where pace is his leading thought:
1 Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother Sosthenes, 2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: 3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (from 1 Cor 1)
Be with Christ …
This spirit of peace can fill our life. It can come to us, when we come to Christ. It is the spirit of new life in him. It is the spirit of forgiveness. It is the spirit of being human - with all the value and dignitiy which God has placed in you and me from the very beginning. When we come to him, we come home and find deep peace!
Living in faith is fantastic, when you experience the fruits of the Holy Spirit, when you find this peace which comes with the spirit of Jesus. It is about letting go many things, finding freedom in him, in the relationship of father and kid. Jesus has done all for you, now you can become human, fully human.
When you come to him, he will take care of you. He is there to help, to support, to love, to be with you. He will bring freedom and peace for your heart, for your mind, for all what you are. This is a promise, the deep promise he has made to all of us, who come to him. Come! (Roland Potthast) ... more texts
