When Jesus Did Work of Peace


When Jesus Did the Work of Peace,
What they did?
Support??

Well......
Let's go into the Bible!



Glory in Heaven & Peace on Earth



Main references: Lk 2:14, Lk 19:38-42

What is glory in heaven and peace on earth?

It is the end of sin and wickedness, and of both physical and spiritual war.
It is the coming of world peace and restoration of light.
It was also the message that an angel passed on to shepherds at the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem (Lk 2:14). 

Lk 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests. Jesus’ disciples also offered praise with the same content (Lk 19:35-38).
Lk 19:35-38 The whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:38 "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

Having heard this word, the snakes (Mt 23:33), the Pharisees said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" Jesus replied to them, "I tell you. If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."
As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes” (Lk 19:41-42).

He continued on saying, “The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you” (refer to Lk 19:43-44; Mt 24:1-2).

Because of this word Jesus was teaching, the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the leaders among the people were looking for the means to kill Jesus (Lk 19:47-48).

Is today not like this?

They were persecuting Jesus and labeling him as a heretic, a troublemaker, and a demon-possessed person, just to cover up their faults, shortcomings, and their shamefulness. Roughly 2,000 years have passed by.
A God-sent messenger did the work of peace just like Jesus did.
Today, a Jesus sent messenger has done the work of peace like Jesus did 2,000 years ago (Rev 22:16).

However, What about today?
