“If you’re happy, let your face know!”

“Relationship broken down?” asks the lawyer advertisement in one of our local papers.

Whenever true Christians hear about relationships, they are not only thinking about relationships with people, but also about their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

The lawyer mentioned in the advertisement is a relationship property expert and he knows how to divide everything fairly.

For true Christians the relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ comes first. They know  the promise in the Bible where it says:

“BUT SEEK FIRST HIS KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU AS WELL.” – Matthew 6:33

What a promise.

“God’s kingdom is not a place, but rather a relationship. It exists wherever people enthrone Jesus as lord of their lives.” – J. I. Packer

“For out of the heart come …”

“‘O UNBELIEVING AND PERVERSE GENERATION,’ JESUS REPLIED, ‘HOW LONG SHALL I STAY WITH YOU? HOW LONG SHALL I PUT UP WITH YOU? BRING THE BOY HERE TO ME.'” – Matthew 17:17

The International World Day of Peace was commemorated on 21 September.

Look at the divisions in this world; there are minor and there are major divisions.

Why are there divisions?

The International Day of Peace

Look at the separations worldwide and at home. Husbands and wives are separating. They loved each other once, but now they cannot get on with each other any more.

What is the cause?

Look at the quarrels among men. And the quarrels are not far away, they are right at our doorsteps. There are quarrels everywhere. There are quarrels in the homes. Parents quarreling with their children. Brothers and sisters cannot get on with each other. There are disputes between neighbors. That are the so-called family feuds. And the boss has squabbles with the employee.

I ask once more, “Why?”

“… no peace until Christ has come to the hearts of men …”

The Bible teaches that all the troubles are due to one thing only, namely, that we are all separated from our creator.

Billy Graham says, “I could say to the leaders of all governments today that there can be no peace until Christ has come to the hearts of men and brought His peace.”
