*CALLED UNTO PEACE* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."* (Luke 2:13-14 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Will this "vawulence" (violence) generation understand this peace that angels sang about when Christ was born into this world of vice and devices?
When Romans 3:17 says *"And the way of peace have they not known"* that perfectly describes the lots of this generation. Are you an exception?
We can't truly follow Jesus and not be a people of Peace!
To begin with, *"your feet ought to be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace"* (Ephesians 6:15 (KJV) The gospel is a peace loving, peace pursuing, and peace creating Gospel. First, by the Gospel, we secure peace with God.
By the Gospel, we learn to behave peacefully. So peace is the third item mentioned among the bunch that makes up the fruit of the Spirit. (Gal. 5:22)
This peace is so important to God that we are told it is a mark of godly wisdom. So in James 3:17, we read *"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, THEN PEACEABLE, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."*
This perfectly explains why Jesus would rather heal the man who came to arrest him, whom Peter cut off his ear. (Luke 22:51)
It also explains why he would rather leave quietly a town that publicly refused to welcome him, than call down fire to rain judgment upon them as suggested by his disciples. (Luke 9:51-56)
_MEDITATION:_
*When we act in ways that are not aligned in peace, we are not acting as dear children of God.*
