Christ Is Our Peace - Drawing Near - John MacArthur
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God" (Matt. 5:9).
Christ’s atonement made it possible for man to be at peace with God.
After World War II the United Nations was created to promote world peace. But since its inception in 1945 there has not been a single day of global peace. That's a sad commentary on man's inability to make peace. In fact, someone once quipped that Washington D.C. has so many peace monuments because they build one after every war!
It hasn't always been that way. Prior to the Fall of man peace reigned on the earth because all creation was in perfect harmony with its Creator. But sin interrupted peace by alienating man from God and bringing a curse upon the earth. Man couldn't know true peace because he had no peace in his heart. That's why Jesus came to die.
I once read a story about a couple at a divorce hearing whose conflict couldn't be resolved. They had a four-year-old
