Will the wars ever end

Sunbeams breaking through clouds over calm sea

Will there ever be peace

I am not talking specifically about the war in Iran but about world peace. Everyone hopes for world peace. Many times, there could be peace and then war breaks out somewhere else in the world. Why is it this? Governments or political leaders are one reason. Intolerant, blood shedding religions is another. But the main underlying reason is the heart of man is basically sinful, (Romans 3:23, Psalms 140:2, Proverbs 12:20). Jesus even told His disciples that there would be wars and rumors of wars, and it was going to happen and keep happening but not to lose heart, (Matthew 24:6, Luke 12:51-53). But there is coming a day when Jesus is going to put a stop to all this. It will be the second time Jesus sets His foot on the earth, (Acts 1:11, Matthew 24:30). The first was at His birth and the prophesies in the Bible were fulfilled about His innocent sinless life were fulfilled, His suffering and terrible death on the cross, (1 Peter 3:18, John 3:16, Romans 5:8). But most importantly His resurrection from the grave, (John 11:25). Now He resides in Heaven at the right hand of the Father, (Matthew 16:19). But He is coming again as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, to set foot on the mount of Olives and bring a period of world peace and He will rule for a thousand years, (Titus 2:11-15, Revelation 1:7). The important thing is that we are with Him or have we ignored Him. If we have asked Him to forgive our sins and called on to be our personal Lord and Savior, we are with Him, (John 14:6, acts 4:12). See you in Church next Sunday. Brother J.
