Merry Christmas
From the Harris Family
He came to
His own and His own received Him not, but to as many as received Him to
them gave He power to become the sons of God, to as many as believed on
His name. It was only to His disciples that Jesus said, "Peace I leave
with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to
you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid." The
people who enjoy the peace of God that surpasses all understanding are
those who in everything by prayer and supplication let their requests be
made known to God. The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's
peace is faith in the promises of God. So Paul prays: "May the God of
hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing". And when we do trust
the promises of God and have joy and peace and love, then God is
glorified; Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men with
whom He is pleased: men who would believe.
-John Piper
