“The Path of Peace”

“The Path of Peace”

 

Because of God’s tender mercy, the Morning Light from heaven is about to visit us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace.   Luke 1:78-79

 

This Scripture is from Zechariah’s prophecy, concerning his son, John, who became known as John the Baptist, because he BAPTIZED those who ACCEPTED His message of SALVATION through the FORGIVENESS of their sins.  He was to be the PROPHET of the MOST HIGH, and it was his mission to be the FORE-RUNNER of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, the SAVIOR of the WORLD.  John would go before the Lord and tell the people HOW to find SALVATION, and FORGIVENESS of their SINS.  

 

John would PREPARE the WAY to SALVATION and an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  This was made POSSIBLE through the TENDER MERCY of the LIVING GOD, for the CROWN of HIS CREATION.  Zechariah said that the MORNING LIGHT, or the DAYSPRING was about to visit us.  The MORNING LIGHT, or DAYSPRING refers to the MESSIAH, which is God’s ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, whose mission was to become the ONLY ACCEPTABLE SACRIFICE for the SALVATION of mankind.  He would give LIGHT to those who sit in DARKNESS and in the SHADOW of DEATH.

 

 

John went before JESUS, and he PREACHED and PREPARED the PEOPLE for the COMING of the MESSIAH, the LIGHT of the WORLD, the DAYSPRING, the MORNING LIGHT from HEAVEN. The HOPE for those who have BELIEVED and ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST as their SAVIOR and LORD. 

 

John was telling the people how they could find the PATH of PEACE.  A PEACE that this WRETCHED, SINFUL world CANNOT give.  A PEACE that comes ONLY from the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.  That PEACE is FOUND ONLY in a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD and is ONLY THROUGH a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the MESSIAH, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  Do YOU have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD, by having a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with His Son, JESUS CHRIST?  Are you on the PATH of PEACE?  

 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, by COMING to the CROSS of JESUS CHRIST, and ADMITTING that YOU are a SINNER, in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS, who DIED for YOUR SALVATION.  You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS died for YOU,  and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  And You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of   SALVATION, in order to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with the ALMIGHTY GOD and His SON, JESUS.  And to POSSESS that PEACE that PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, by being on the RIGHT PATH of PEACE. Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
