Come To Jesus Part 5

 

I’m Duane Matz and welcome to Today’s Living Word.

 

Come To Jesus day 5: For Peace of Conscience, Come! More thoughts from the Neuman Hall Devotional booklet published in 1848! He writes:

 

Isa 48:22 "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked." Some sinners seem to be at peace, but it is only by refusing to think. But such thoughtlessness is not worthy to be called peace.

 

Sinner, you are evading the issue. You cannot have true peace unless you have assurance of full pardon for your sins.

Such pardon is only available when we come to Jesus. In Jesus, all our sins are forgiven. We still think of them with sorrow, but we need no more think of them with terror.

 

God says to us: “Your sins will I remember no more.” He casts them behind His back into the depths of the sea. They will not be mentioned on Judgement Day. He will abundantly pardon.

Instead of hiding from Him as Adam did, we hide in Him as David did saying, “Thou art my hiding place.”

 

Oh what a happy change!

 

Whatever dreadful things my conscience tells me, Jesus says, They sins are forgiven thee go in peace!”

 

Poor sinner, you and peace have long been strangers. Worldly pleasure is not peace and nothing can give you true peace while your sins hang heavily on your soul.

 

Come then to Jesus. He both makes peace and gives it. Come to Jesus and you will know firsthand, “The peace of God which passeth all understanding.
