The Peace Christ Made - The War is Over!

Hurray! The War is Over!!!

Speak... comfortably to Jerusalem... that her warfare is accomplished... (Isaiah 40:2)

And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. (Isaiah 12:1)

Our message is that God was making all human beings his friends through Christ... We were sent to speak for Christ, and GOD IS BEGGING YOU TO LISTEN to our message. (2 Corinthians 5:19 GNB, 20 CEV emphasis mine)

Roll out the drums, IT IS FINISHED!

Celebration for a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Heaven gates are now open so freely

IT’S FOR REAL, come on in to the holies

God and man in a new pact

Heart to heart touching, just like that?

A relationship in fellowship can now start

Even angels would wish to say “congrats!”

But it meant HELL to our Lord

Our Captain’s pains not for words

The Cross, the peak of wrath poured

Just to put a lasting end to the discord

Finally He came and preached peace

Sins blotted, God’s smiles and kiss

Old things passed, a new covenant of His

Oh! Can anything be as beautiful as this?

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul,
when at the cross the Savior made me whole;
my sins were washed away,
and my night was turned to day

What can be like the gift of Eternal Life?

After our toils in sins, sorrow and hopeless nights

Redemption dawned on us just in due time

Father declares, “No more wrath”, and justifies

Hmmm! Taking some deeper breath at this level...

It’s coming with tears as I marvel

Man and deaf ears, adamant as Adam and stiff-necked

“Who hath believed our report”, Isaiah lamented

Oh that when it’s all been said and done

At the anticipated return of the coming One

That your only regret be not “Oh I listened not”

Let it not be you in fire burning so hot

So we have piped unto you now, please dance!

The goodness of God leads you unto repentance

Just come, oh come; the Spirit and the bride say “come”

The Marriage feast is set! Be a part of this kingdom

Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. (2 Corinthians 5:11)

Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, BE YE RECONCILED TO GOD. (2 Corinthians 5:17-20 KJV)

And came and preached PEACE to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. (Ephesians 2:17)

And the Spirit and the bride say, COME. And let him that heareth say, COME. And let him that is athirst COME. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life FREELY. (Revelation 22:17)

And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage. But THEY MADE LIGHT OF [IT], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them] spitefully, and slew [them]. But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and BURNED up their city. (Matthew 22:3-7 KJV)

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? (Romans 2:4 KJV)

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. (Luke 7:31-32 KJV)
