One Dramatic Act!

And God was pleased
for him (Jesus) to make peace
by sacrificing his blood
on the cross,
so that all beings in heaven
and on earth
would be brought back to God.

Colossians 1:20

When there is war, blood is shed. War is terrible. When the dying starts the nostalgia like feelings about war leave and leave quickly. When there is not a lot of dying a war can go on for years, but when the body bags come home in massive numbers everyone searches for peace. Sometimes, as in World War II in the Pacific one dramatic act brings the war to an abrupt halt.

In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve declared war on God! They decided to take for themselves things that had been reserved for God alone.

The Old Testament in the Bible tells about many of the battles in that war. Then Jesus came to make Peace. Although many had died in the struggle, when Jesus died and came back to life the war was over. Victory was declared because of one dramatic act. All you have to do to enjoy the Peace of God is to accept it through faith in Jesus!

If you want to keep on fighting God, you are like a man still fighting World War II. Jesus ended war with God on the Cross. You can enjoy the Peace of God or pretend you still have opportunity to defeat the Almighty.

Aren't you tired of fighting God?
