Scripture Post #109: *NO PEACE ON EARTH*

Matthew 10:34: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."


Context: Jesus is speaking to His Disciples here. Also, Jesus sent forth His 12 Disciples to go out and preach for His Kingdom's sake: Matt 10:1-7. 

When people say, "Let there be peace on earth," they're not in Christ's alignment. There could never be peace on earth as long as Satan is the god of this world (2nd Cor. 4:4)! There is no: "I respect your religion, you respect mine. Let's all get along. If you think gay marriage is fine then so do I, for the sake of 'peace on earth.'" No! We are seated in Heaven (Eph. 2:6); our peace is there! We are there (the real us). Our bodies are on earth, but our bodies aren't the real us. (We are spirit. We're a 3-part being: spirit, soul and body: 1st Thess. 5:23.) We are in the world but not of it. 
Satan and God will never get along; they'll never have peace; they're opposites!
