Church Sign - 2/14/2009, Part 1

Church: Zion United Methodist Church (1807 Duncan Road; Knoxville, TN 37919)

Sign: “No Jesus -- No Peace. Know Jesus, know peace.”

Commentary: This sign reminds the reader of the promise of peace Jesus gave. Jesus left a unique peace, one that transcends the worldly concept of peace. (John 14:27)

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.” (John 14:27, NASB)

In the beginning of his spiritual autobiography, The Confessions of Saint Augustine, Augustine of Hippo (354-430) wrote, “You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless till they find their rest in you.”
