The Jesus Stuff - Peace

What exactly is peace?

peace- n.
1. Freedom from quarrels and disagreement; harmonious relations
2. Inner contentment; serenity

In English, the word "peace" conjures up a passive picture, one showing an absence of civil disturbance or hostilities, or a personality free from internal and external strife. The biblical concept of peace is larger than that and rests heavily on the Hebrew root slm, which means "to be complete" or "to be sound." The verb conveys both a dynamic and a static meaning" to be complete or whole" or "to live well.”
-Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology

Jesus Brings Peace.

He makes His peace available to us.

One of the greatest forces for peace in our lives is the powerful gift of prayer.

Peace comes as we focus our thoughts on Christ.

Peace comes through obedience to God’s Word.
