A Breath Away?

Speaking of the Middle East: Peace just a breath away, says Sharon Stone

Peace often seems just a breath away, that's one of our eternal problems. We just don't know how to bridge the gap.

"It feels to me that we have an opportunity ... to choose understanding in a new way," she told a press conference in Paris when asked about her trip.

"And it really is just a breath. It's just an agreement that's just a breath. We are not far apart. We can choose to have this alternative kind of growth that is a collective nuance of understanding.

"We are just that breath away from a peaceful co-existence,"

Sounds nice, but really it's B.S. We want peace, Israel wants peace, but the other side wants death and destruction. They live for it and it's taught to them from birth. How do you reverse that? They refuse to look inside themselves and see any fault. They cannot see any problem within their little sphere of understanding. The answer is, it's beyond the ability of mankind. All the good intentions in the world cannot change that. Only God can do that and you can't even bring that up without eyes rolling.

"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To preach the acceptable year of the LORD." Luke 4:18,19

What difference can God make?

In fact, everyone in the world is affected by the resurrection of Jesus. Nobody can live unchanged by that great fact. If it didn't happen, your life is going to be changed tremendously. And if it did happen, your life is going to be changed tremendously. It is, as the Bible makes clear, the central fact of history. Nothing is more important. And everything is different, depending upon whether this did or didn't happen. I'd like to think with you a little bit about this great fact, and consider with you what life would be like if Jesus did not rise, and what would life be like if he did, and what effect it would have upon you.
