Grace is enough Motar. Peace we hope for some day. Have a good one.

The peace He gives is not circumstantial, LL. It is essential.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace." (John 16:33 NIV)

Maybe one day you'll quote Jesus and not the others. Would be a nice change.

"You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you." (Isaiah 26:3 NIV)

I have experienced this 'perfect peace' personally in the midst of crisis and tragedy, LL. May this peace be yours : )

So have I. I have seen more blood and guts than some war vets and I have always remained calm to get the job of saving lives done and, I don't believe Jesus was anything more than a mortal man if he existed at all. My brother, on the other hand, believed in Jesus and he would throw up at the slightest sign of blood. Go figure. It has nothing to do with belief and everything to do with an individual's constitution.

I was speaking of my own blood, Cliffy. Charis and shalom.

Desperately looking for shelter while in Jerusalem to pay taxes.

At least we can say they worked and lived by the law and contributed.

In the gospel recorded by the apostle John and in the 3rd chapter, the musts are revealed:
1) "You must be born again" (v7)
2) "the Son of Man must be lifted up" (v14)
3) "He must become greater; I must become less." (v30)

These musts apply to all, from the highly-educated, moral, wealthy, influential, respected, religious ruler Nicodemus to the poor, unnamed, morally and socially-outcast common woman of Samaria and everyone in between. (John 4)

Every coming second heralds rebirth and every renewal predicts another this is accension, up the ladder, to greater and greater reason, until you stand before compassion and there you will be weighed and found

Christian is to act like and follow the teachings of Jesus.
There are no true Christians
