Ps. Rtd. Reuben Adrakpanya
Theme: Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and Redeemer
Key Scriptures: John 14:27 β’ Genesis 23:6 β’ Psalm 119:165 β’ Romans 12:9β18
We canβt preach Christ without preaching peaceβbecause Jesus gives peace.
1) Christ is the Source of Peace (John 14:27)
Jesus said, βMy peace I give to you.β
His peace is not the worldβs peace. It is calm in trouble and confidence in God.
The worldβs peace depends on everything going well. But Jesusβ peace stands even when life is shaking.
2) Peace is Wholeness, Not Just No Conflict
Biblical peace means completeness and wellbeingβpeace in the heart, mind, and relationships. It is:
β’ a settled heart,
β’ a healthy spirit,
β’ a mind kept by God,
β’ relationships guided by love.
3) Peace Must Be Lived (Romans 12:9β18)
Peace is demonstrated: love sincerely, avoid revenge, honor people, and live peaceably as much as it depends on you.
Practical Christianity is managing and preserving peace. If our lifestyle causes confusion, division, gossip, and offense, we may be talking about Christ, but we are not reflecting Him.
4) Peace Includes Dignity (Genesis 23:6)
Abraham was honored because of how he carried himself. Respect yourself as Godβs child and walk with dignity.
5) Godβs Word Guards Peace (Psalm 119:165)
Loving Godβs Word produces stability and great peace.
Conclusion
If we preach Christ, we must preach peaceβbecause He is the Prince of Peace.
Let His peace rule your heart, shape your behavior, and show in your dignity.
Amen!!
