The Four Dimensions of Peace

Why does it seem strange to some that we need a Savior who brings peace as the Prince of peace? On one occasion, Jesus said, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

The peace Jesus gives has four dimensions.

1- Vertical: Peace with God- (Romans 5:1)

2- Horizontal: Peace between people — even those who are hostile toward each other. (Eph 2:14,17-18)

3- Internal: Peace within- (Philippians 4:6-7) God’s peace can conquer our deepest anxieties.

4. Eternal: Peace forever- (Isaiah 9:6-7)

God’s great gift of peace is available to all people who acknowledge their need for Him.
