Jesus has taken a wounded glorified body to Himself in a manner that conquers sin through the everlasting effects of His Cross. The peace Jesus has given to each and every one of us is not as the world gives peace but as He gives peace. The world sees peace as coming from power, and Jesus gives peace through the power of love. We so much yearn for true peace in our war-torn world, in our confused nation and in our own personal and family lives.
