FROM TODAY’S READING (3/7/2022)…
“Meeting Christ brings a peace previously unknown. ‘Peace I leave with you,’ says Jesus, ‘my peace I give you’ (John 14:27). The soul then has a sense of rest and well-being it has never known, even in the best of times. Getting to know Christ better and better through his Word brings us divine wisdom for living…a wisdom that slows down or reverses the destructive patterns in our lives. We experience new stability, self-control, and discipline.”
R. Kent Hughes (Luke, Vol. 1)
John 14:27 (NLT) I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
James 1:5 (NLT) If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
Ephesians 2:8-10 (NLT) God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
