The
peace of God surpasses all understanding.
How does this peace come into us? The Bible says, “Righteousness and peace kiss each other” (Psalm 85:10). In Isaiah 48:22 we read, “‘There is no peace,’ says the Lord, ‘for the wicked.’" But when we hold on to righteousness and holiness and seek the presence of the living God, He makes His divine peace overflow in us by His glory.
The Lord Jesus has shed His own blood in order to transform your body as His temple. The Scripture says, “The blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin” (I John 1:7).
This day, the Lord wants to dwell in You and transform you into His temple. Plead with the Lord saying, "Lord, cleanse me with Your precious blood.” He will make divine peace to pursue you. This peace shall follow you all through your life. The Scripture says, “Consider the blameless, observe the upright; there is a future for the man of peace” (Psalm 37:37).
In Chennai, there was a person by name Rev. Vedakan of the Church of South India. He was very dear to my father D.G.S. Dhinakaran (late). He was a righteous man. When his moment of death arrived, he said to his son, “Ask the Bishop to come and meet me.” When the son contacted the Bishop over the phone and made this request, he promised to come at 5 O’ clock the next day. On hearing that, this pastor said, “I am going to leave this world at 4 O’ clock tomorrow. In that case, what’s he going to do by coming at 5 O’ clock?” As he said, the next day exactly at 4 O’ clock, he said, “Here, the chariot has come” and closed his eyes. He went up to heaven.
Yes, the Lord will give grace and peace in abundance to a righteous man.
The Bible says, “The kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). When we thirst for the righteousness of Christ, we shall surely receive it. Furthermore, we shall reap a harvest of immeasurable peace and abundant joy.
