In Bill Johnson's book, "The Power That Changes the World," he emphasizes that true peace stems from the presence of Jesus, referred to as the Prince of Peace. This divine peace goes beyond mere tranquility; it has a powerful, confrontational aspect that can overcome darkness and evil. Citing Romans 16:20, Johnson illustrates that God’s peace is not passive, but an active force that can defeat adversities.
Moreover, Johnson contrasts the concept of peace within God's Kingdom with that of the outside world. While external peace may merely signify the absence of conflict, peace in God's realm signifies the presence of a loving and powerful entity. This distinction highlights the transformative impact of divine peace on individuals and communities, suggesting that embracing this presence leads to lasting change and strength against challenges.
