Peace in Christ

In Ezekiel 13, God is saying he will destroy the idolatrous nation of Israel, and also mentions His disdain for the teachings of the false prophets. While The Lord was declaring that because the people have been sinful, they will be destroyed by a neighboring cities.
It says in v. 10, the prophets are recorded as saying, "Peace" when there won't be peace, because their visions are a lie. So, keeping it in mind that this was in the Old Testament, if we look at Luke 24, (from the New Testament) one of the phrases Jesus first speaks to all the disciples (after the walk to Emmaus) was "Peace be to you."
Now, let me clarify I am not in any way, shape, or form, trying to call Jesus a false prophet, because I believe He really was the Son of God. I am trying to say that before Jesus' death there was no peace because the only way to be completely forgiven of wrong-doing was through the shedding of blood.
 In order for people to continue pleasing God, we have to stay focused on Him and not chase things of this world (and that goes for modern times too.)
But what I'm trying to emphasize is that before Jesus' death there was no peace because of the inherited sinfulness of humans, thus God, being The Ultimate Ruler who was and is and forever will be wholly perfect and without fault, had to give some form of punishment so that the people might see that He is Lord and turn from their sinful ways.
However, after Jesus' death, he greets them with what may be a common greeting: "Peace be with you." Before Jesus' death there was no peace because there was no perfect atonement for our sins, but after His Resurrection, He greets us with peace because He has provided a way for us to be forgiven without the shedding of more blood. Christ was the perfect solution to man's problem. It is because He lives that we can face the trials, troubles and pains, of this world because we know that we can be forgiven and are encouraged by His Spirit.
We are called to live a righteous life, as Christians, to also love others and to know that we are royalty, crowned with the crown of eternal life. Because, if our God is for us, and he has the victory, are we not to live in Joy?!?? He has the victory, He offers forgiveness, and He is the way to eternal life. "Trust in The Lord with all your heart..."  (Prov. 3:5) and He will do mighty things!
