If you think peace is an acronym for suffering, think again.
True peace is experienced only amidst suffering.
Just like the eye of the tornado is the most calm, the eye of suffering is peace. Peace doesn't occur before or after the suffering, but during it. Right smack in the epicentre of it.
Christ suffered, but He didn't suffer in vain. Because there was peace amidst the suffering, or rather, He was peace.
Christ = Peace - 1)
Peace = Epicentre of suffering - 2)
Substitute 1) into 2)
Christ = Epicentre of our sufferingThere can be no peace if suffering didn't exist. Because i believe that suffering is God's unique way of conveying to us the simple message - He's Jehovah Shalom, our God of peace.
I'm not trying to say that there is no suffering at the epicentre of suffering. Because peace isn't the absence of suffering. It is the stillness of your soul during your suffering.
I heard this song on American Idol "I've got Jesus and gravity". Okay, i doubt that's the title. But finally, i see the link.
Jesus is our centre of gravity. My centre of gravity will pull me back to the core.
For you, a limitless times over (:
