Made peace through the blood of His cross" (Col 1:20). 

Note the words, "made peace" - not "gave peace." There is a vast difference between making peace and giving peace. You may be able to give someone an expensive electronic watch - it may cost you a couple of hundred dollars. But let's suppose you made the watch and then gave it to him. You could have spent a fortune studying electronic engineering; a good part of your time might have also been used in those studies. Besides, since you are the one who made the watch, you can repair it if anything goes wrong with it. "Having MADE PEACE through the blood" means Jesus is the author of peace, the Prince of peace. The blood of Jesus Christ is so unique. As we have been washed in the blood of Christ, we can always enjoy the peace of God. "Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means" (II Thess 3:16).
Millions do not yet know the SECRET OF PERFECT PEACE. Many think riches, name, fame, friends etc. will give them peace; finally they are frustrated and fail to find the SECRET OF PEACE.

Dear reader, if we have been fully washed in the blood of the Lamb, we can always have perfect undisturbed peace of mind. No matter what happens outside, it matters what happens inside!
