The Cross Brings Peace | Daily Devotional (Matthew 5:9)
SEVENTH BEATITUDE CONTINUES: Blessed are the peacemakers. Apostle Paul wrote to Ephesians: 'But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace' (Ephesians 2:13-14). Christ IS our peace—not was, IS. Present tense. Paul also told Colossians: 'It was Father's good pleasure for all fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through blood of His cross' (Colossians 1:19-20). Made peace through blood of cross. How did cross bring peace? At cross all of man's hatred and anger was vented against God. Jesus was mocked, cursed, spit on, pierced, reviled, and killed. Disciples fled in fear. Sky flashed lightning, earth shook violently, veil of temple torn in two. Yet through that VIOLENCE God brought peace. How? God's greatest righteousness confronted man's greatest wickedness. And righteousness WON. At cross: righteousness vs wickedness. Righteousness triumphed. That's how cross brought peace. One who does NOT belong to God through Jesus Christ can neither HAVE peace nor BE peacemaker. God can work peace THROUGH us only if He has worked peace IN us. Peace internally first, then externally. As Christian, you might endure great turmoil and strife. But in deepest being you have peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
