Hold to Truth and Peace
Holt to Truth and Peace
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful
Today, I imagine Jesus would say to us something like this:
Do not be shaken by what you read, by the news, or by COVID-19, nor by its devastating effects. Do not let fear take root in your hearts. Hold to the truth. I am the truth. Have courage. Comfort one another. Support each other, for this shall pass. Remain in my peace;
“because I live, you shall also live”
Whence comes our courage, our hope? During this Easter season we continuously recall our Lord’s Resurrection – an event as real and as important as His Passion and Death upon the Cross. The Resurrection is no mere afterword but a confirmation of Christ’s identity as the Only Begotten Son – and a confirmation of the truth of His promises to us, that He is with us and that His words will come to pass. It is this holy and superabundant evidence which draws us to place of hope and trust in Him.
If you abide in my word…you will know the truth, the truth will set you free
