Turn to the Bible and you find
the same thing. Every prophet who
looks down the long vista Of time
to Gods Golden Age, see a world
at peace. Some Of the best-known
passages from the Bible are those
from Isaiah selected for this week.
So If human beings want peace, at
least to this extent they are on
Gods side.
Why we hope for peace Is plain
enough. Reasons may vary from
low (bad) to high (good). The
prophets reasons are certainly
high ones. The reason why war is
bad is what it does to people.
Nowadays, of course, war means
total destruction; but even when
that is not true, war means the
slow or swift degeneration of hui
man beings. "Alls fair in love and
war" is not true but most people
think it is, and the longer war goes
on, the more people believe it. Ly-
ing, cruelty, theft, murder, adul-
terry become commonplace. The
enemy looks to us less than human
land so do we to the enemy, so
that we make excuses for our
beastly treatment of him by calling
him a beast.

Now, why is -s that something
we all want, and that God wants,
we don't get? The history Of west
ern Europe, and of the United
States, is one long series of wars.
We scarcely get over one before
the next one comes off the assem-
bly, line. If it isn't hot war it's a
cold one-and the "cold war" is no
20th-century invention. Only the
name is new.
Or course one reason we don't
get peace is that we want it for
wrong reasons. One of the COM
monest of wrong reasons is that we
want peace in order to establish
our own nation (whatever nation
that Isl as top dog" There have
been such periods of peace in the
world, when Egypt, or Macedonia,
or Rome, or the British Empire,
lust sat on the rest of the world
and maintained peace by threat Of
force, maintaining its own position
at the top of the heap. The trouble
with that kind of peace is that no.
body likes it except the people or
top of the pile. Sooner or later the
people who have been sat on de-
eide they've had enough-and the
fight starts all over again.
The Things That Make For Peace
There are other bad motives for
desiring world at peace, but you
can think of them without too
much trouble. Let us look at an
other point. We do not hear of
Jesus weeping often; but one Of
the rare occasions when he did cry
was when he looked on his own
capital city and wept over it. He
saw in his minds eye "the days
when your enemies will . &.
surround you :. and dash you to
the ground" ok. 19:41-44). And
why? "The things that make for
peace are hid from your eyes"
Peace does not glide down from
heaven on a moonbeam. Peace has
to be made and kept.
Prince Of Peace
Nations neglecting these things
are going down the road to war
But the most important thing re-
mains to be said: The nation that
neglects Christ is shutting itself
off from peace, while the nation
that Is Christian is strong force
for peace. This is not just a matter
of theology. 1t is not saying that if
you believe articles one, two, ct
cetera, you will never have war.
1t is saying that the nation with
an increasing number of citizens
whose lives are truly Christlike,
who honor him and follow him, is
a nation which is more and more
able to lead other nations in the
way of peace.
