“Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means.” – 2 Thessalonians 3:16
One of the strangest verses that ever fell from the lips of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is this: “Think not that I have come to send peace on the earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword.” That’s incredible, because the Bible calls Him “the Prince of Peace.” What is He talking about, then?
He is saying, “I came with a sword to put a line of demarcation between truth and error, between light and dark, between sin and righteousness.”
When God’s standard of righteousness is set, there will always be division. Without righteousness there can be no peace. Peace can never come where sin remains. God will never make a peace treaty with sin, never!
Some people think when others act righteously that they are acting religiously, and sometimes not very peacefully. How can you stand in the gap for peace AND righteousness?

Hi Greg: Do you know where the scripture is, “Think not that I have come to send peace on the earth….” that he quoted here? He didn’t give a reference.
Did you ever get around to reading my books? 🙂
That would be Matthew 10:34.
Not as of yet no. 🙁 I will however. 🙂
Thanks.
