LIVING IN PEACE=ONE DAY
I have never been there
But I am SURE=Jerusalem
Is a city
UNLIKE any other=
There are=profound spiritual meanings
IN JERUSALEM
I don’t know=IF it
Will be Jerusalem
But I hope and PRAY
That one day
There will be a CITY
Where all faiths=CAN LIVE
In peace and unity
With each other
“JERUSALEM=built as a city
WITH COMPACT UNITY”
Psalm 122:3
LIVING IN PEACE=ONE DAY
With each other
Jerusalem is mentioned
In the BIBLE
Almost 800 times=as sacred
BETWEEN God and his people
As Christians=
We think about Jesus
And his time there
We think about
That PASSION FILLED DAY
At the crossroads of history
ONE DAY=I hope we can
ALL LIVE IN PEACE
“Better a dry crust
WITH PEACE and quiet=
Than a house full
Of feasting=with strife”
Proverbs 17:1
“You will keep
IN PERFECT PEACE
Those whose minds=are steadfast=
Because they trust in you”
Isaiah 26:3
“PEACE I leave with you=
My PEACE I give you
I do not give to you
As the world gives
Do not
Let your hearts be troubled=
And do not be afraid”
John 14:27
Jerusalem was a city
BUILT on a mountain
BETWEEN the river
And the sea
ALL three religions
Judaism-Christianity=and Islam
All claim SACRED sites there
They are the ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS
Psalm 122 refers to Jerusalem
As a CITY OF UNITY
Yet it is divided
BETWEEN the religions
I hope ONE DAY
There is a city=a city
WHERE we can live in PEACE
PREFERABLY Jerusalem
LIVING IN PEACE=ONE DAY!
We PRAY that this city
Which is
Part of our SPIRITUAL HERITAGE
Will one day=FULFILL this dream
OF UNITY AND PEACE
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER PEACEFUL=Holy
Father God!
