The Missing Peace
When God made the rules of the garden
there was only one rule. The only rule
was not to eat of the forbidden
fruit. They had everything to be
completely satisfied in life. The
serpent beguiled them and tricked them into believing a lie. When they disobeyed the only rule of the
garden. The peace that they felt with
God was gone. It was missing from that very moment.
Fear was immediate in their hearts
and lives. They were afraid of the
punishment of God upon them. This was
the first time they ever felt fear, for the first time they knew they were naked before
God. The serpent convinced them that
they would be like God, knowing both good and
evil. Instead, they became
sinners, while God remained sinless.
They immediately became sinners in
need of salvation.
Death entered this world, at the disobedience
of Adam and Eve. Sin is such a serious
thing to God, that sin required a blood sacrifice unto the Lord. It was the first time a young he lamb without
spot was sacrificed for a temporary covering. It was the first time blood had been shed.
God cursed them in their disobedience,
they would know pain, sorrow and sadness
for the rest of their lives. They would
have to work to eat and to live. God
made them leave the perfect garden He made for them. He also told them they could no longer eat of
the tree of life and God sent angels to guard it.
Adam and Eve made then a yearly
sacrifice and continued to have a relationship with the Lord but it was not the
same. They still had happy times but
they would also live with unhappy times.
Without God, there is no true peace
of heart. The peace that Adam and Eve
knew with God would never really be the same as it was in the garden God made
for them.
Adam and Eve looked forward to redemption's
promise, through faith and we look back at the cross for our redemption through
faith. When Christ was crucified, as the
perfect lamb of God, without spot (meaning sinless). He died one time for all, no other covering,
no other death sacrifice was required.
He finished at the cross what needed to be done.
Mankind is still missing peace, until
we find the hope and joy of salvation in Christ alone. Without Christ we cannot know the peace of
God or be at peace with God.
When we find the missing piece, which
is Christ for salvation, is when we find
the missing peace.. The peace that rules
our hearts because of Christ in us. The
blessing of peace abides with us when we remain faithful in prayer and right
living as children of God.
Dear Father In Heaven,
Be with each one here today, I pray
you will open their hearts and their minds to your truth.
I pray they will find the peace that
passes all understanding. The
forgiveness of Christ and rest of soul, that comes by knowing you. Hold back the powers of Satan in their lives
and bring the miracle of faith into their lives. May they believe and trust you today as the
only way of salvation. In Christ name, I
pray this, Amen.
Upon this day, will you trust Christ
as your Saviour and Hero of your life?

Genesis 3:11
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Roman 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
