| 0:03.0 | We're going to be. Where do we go to find peace? Maybe you head to the beach, or go to the mountains, you hike in the woods. |
| 0:31.2 | Maybe you have a spot in the garden or a special room. |
| 0:34.5 | Today on Truth for Life weekend, we'll learn about the only place where true and |
| 0:38.1 | lasting peace can be found. Alistair Begg is teaching from Ephesians chapter 2. We're |
| 0:43.8 | focusing on verses 14 through 18. Nobody today is prepared to deny, in fact, there is universal agreement about the condition of our world. |
| 0:59.2 | It's broken. |
| 1:00.7 | Where the disagreement comes is, what's the cause of this brokenness, and what is the solution to the brokenness? |
| 1:07.9 | And here in our studies in Ephesians, a book written a long time ago, a letter |
| 1:12.6 | written a wrong time ago by a converted Jew by the name of Saul of Tarsus, Paul the apostle, |
| 1:20.0 | we are at the very heart of peace discovered in a context of hostility. I think if you listen carefully when I read this, you would see that |

| 1:36.8 | not in a program, but instead in a person. He is our peace, verse 14. He's making peace at the end of verse 15. And he preach peace, |
| 1:50.3 | verse 17. There's no surprise, because the Old Testament looked forward to the one who had come, |
| 1:56.7 | who was the prince of peace. And what Paul is saying is, I discover that Jesus really is the Prince of Peace. |
| 2:04.5 | My life was marked by hostility. I had a hatred for people. I was pursuing these people to the point of |
| 2:11.4 | imprisonment and of death. But I have discovered how wrong that was, how warped I was, and how wonderful Jesus is. |
| 2:21.0 | Of this peace, he made it, he preached it, he is it. |
| 2:26.6 | And so when we read the gospel records, of course, we discover that this is exactly what Jesus |
| 2:31.8 | himself said. |
| 2:32.7 | I'm going to leave, he said to his followers. |
| 2:35.5 | I'm going to leave my peace with you. |
