Where is the Peace?

Good Morning! Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace,goodwill toward men! You know if you read the story of Jesus' birth in Luke 2, the Angels tell us that they bring us tidings of Great Joy! A Savior is born. And with him there is Peace! And when Jesus was telling His disciples about the Holy Spirit,because He would be going to Heaven. He said,"Peace I leave with you;MY PEACE I GIVE YOU.I do not give you as the world gives! Well that's a good thing,cause I don't see to much Peace in the world today. Wars continue to take innocent lives,Domestic violence is a growing problem. Divorce rates soar, churches split and the sin and violence and just downright belligerence  against God is unbelievable. So where is this Peace Jesus promised? You know if there is one thing I see with Christians today, myself included. Is we sit back and expect God to do everything in our lives. We just think that as long as we go to Church and wear our Crosses around our necks to show who we are. God will do everything else. But you see Jesus told us WE are the ones who have to go the extra mile.We are the ones who need to forgive others,We need to turn the other cheek, We need to reject greed and tolerate each others weaknesses. We are the ones who are supposed to love each other,as He loved us. In Rom 12:18 Paul tells us,"If it is possible,as far as depends on YOU,live at peace with everyone. So today! At this time of CHRISTmas,But all through the yr also! May we show this Peace to each other. This Peace that Jesus so freely gave us. But WE are the ones who have to use it. So today! Let us show the, Love,The Peace of Jesus Christ! Let that be our gift to everyone this Year! HABD!
