Sermon Illustrations

Illustration from Illustrations Unlimited - PEACE, PEACE: A true story: A retired couple was alarmed by the threat of nuclear war so they undertook a serious study of all the inhabited places on the globe. Their goal was to determine where in the world would be the place to be least likely affected by a nuclear war. A place of ultimate security. They studied and traveled, traveled and studied. Finally they found the place. And on Christmas they sent their pastor a card from their new home, in the Falkland Islands. However, their ’paradise’ was soon turned into a war zone by Great Britain and Argentina. Jesus said, ¡§Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."
