3. (Uvalde Series) God keeps us in perfect peace when our mind is stayed on that which we have heard from HIM.

 

 

 

Jesus was crucified and HIS body was wrapped in clean linen and HE was placed in a tomb with a large rock sealing the entrance to the tomb.

Several women came to the tomb to bring good smelling spices to place on the dead body of Jesus.

Here is what happened:

Luke 24

1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men (angels)  stood by them in shining garments:

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they (the men) said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

6  HE is not here, but is risen:

The truth of God's word calms us and directs our way as we go through the problems of this present world. 

As long as we make our mind be fixed on God's words and pray to God, HE keeps us in perfect peace even in tragedies.

Isaiah 26:3-4

THOU wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on THEE: because he trusteth in THEE.

Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

The pagans sorrow because they have no hope in death.  We, as Christians, have hope of the resurrection from the dead through Jesus Christ.  So we do not act as do the pagans.

The apostle Paul says:

I Thessalonians 4

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (go before) them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord HIMSELF shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
