While in Africa this summer I saw the effects of Civil War. The room I stayed in while in Gemena had been gutted by the rebels. The one piece of furniture(beside the bed) had a broken leg, no shelves and a door that wouldn't close due to the conflict. The effects of the lack of peace are evident for all to observe. And it's a horrible way to live.
Jesus tells us that those who experience the fulness of His life are called to be peacemakers. As we will see this weekend you are never more like God than when you are a peacemaker. Now don't confuse this with some form of appeasment, or peace at any price type, or natural dispostition, or heaven forbid some form of gaggy Minnesota nice. It cannot mean that!
The world, your world, our church is in great need of peacemakers. Jesus invites you to this life-You will never be more like God! Will You??
See You all this weekend! I know we will all be challenged by God to allow him into the little wars of our lives. The effects are plain for all to see. And it's a horrible way to live.
Thankfully because of Jesus-you can live in peace, personally and in all your relationships.
Blessed Are the peacmakers, for they will be called sons of God. Mt. 5:9
God Bless
