Jesus was Born to:
(1) teach us to walk in God’s ways
(2) seek and save the lost
(3) reign as king
(4) bring God’s kingdom to earth
(5) defeat the enemy
And what came to me is emotional exchanges that lead to a comprehensive and ordered approach to finding True Peace.
(1) Exchanging confusion for clarity. Jesus teaching us God’s ways ends the hypocrisy and dissension regarding HOW to live as God commands. His teachings and manner helping us to understand what is sin and what is not. We exchange chaos, confusion and disorder for clarity and vision.
(2) Exchanging despair for hope. Once we understand clearly the nature of sin, we are immediately confronted with our hopelessness to overcome it. We are lost and helpless to heal ourselves. Jesus mission to seek and save the lost ushers in the peace of knowing we are being sought out, actively saved from our position. We exchange helpless, hopeless rejection for vibrant, worth and hope.
(3) Exchanging fear for security. When we understand clearly our personal position as the recipient of God’s love and grace, we then become aware we live in a hostile climate. We are foreigners in a strange land. Jesus position as Sovereign and Eternal King gives us the peace of knowing that all injustice will be set right. God can be trusted to execute perfect justice and has the authority to do so. We exchange terror and outrage for confident security.
(4) Exchanging meaninglessness for purpose. When we understand clearly our position with God and His sovereign authority we the can be crushed by the idea that our lives are without meaning. God does not need me... I have no role in this. But Jesus role as ushering in the kingdom of heaven to the earth provides us a new and immediate identity and purpose. We are citizens of the kingdom of heaven. On mission to live out Gods kingdom here and now. We exchange purposelessness for significant contribution and stewardship.
(5) Exchanging defeat and death for victory and eternal life. When we fully understand our position, security and purpose the last obstruction is death... doesn’t the enemy hold the final card? Our last exchange is in knowing that Jesus along with our efforts has defeated sin and death and he will raise us all to eternal life.This is the final PEACE! We have complete peace.
