- "In Me you may have perfect Peace"
- Jesus speaks these words to his disciples just before he goes to the cross.
- Before He is beaten and crucified.
- Before He is put in a tomb with a huge stone rolled in front.
- He knows that what is going to happen is going to rock their world.
- They will be confused.
- They are about to question everything they believe.
- But the key here is when He says, "In Me"
- He can promise this because He didn't remain in the grave.
- He rose from the grave on the 3rd day!
- He is alive, and He can live in you!
- The peace that you need today is found in Christ alone.
- When you rely on Him.
- When you are dependent on Him.
- When you are connected to Him.
- When you Abide in Him!
- In John 15:4, Jesus says "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me."
- Remember, Peace is one of the fruits of the spirit.(Gal. 5:22)
- You cannot have true Peace, lasting Peace apart from Christ.
- It is found in Him and produced in your life when you spend time with Him.
- As you get connected to Him, His life produces this in you.
- Remember Jesus' words, today!
- These aren't words just for His disciples 2000 years ago.
- Just as He spoke them then, He speaks them to you today!
- So that when you face uncertainty and when you come to your darkest days, you will remember His words..."In Me"
- He alone can give you a Peace that is not rocked by the storm.
- He provides Peace that does not give out under pressure.
- Only He can give you true, lasting Peace.
- Today Jesus says to you, "Come to me... Abide in Me...Find life in Me....Experience True Peace in Me."
- Have a great Monday!
