Remembering God’s Peace
This week as we take time to remember we will also be exploring peace. In a world that talks about peace so much, there seems to be an incredible lack of actual peace. As Christians, we view peace as a divine gift and a human responsibility. More than simply the ‘absence of conflict’, Christian peace (shalom) expresses a state of whole-ness, well-being and right relationship with God and the people. We have the opportunity to share the hope and grace that is offered to us all through the Prince of Peace always.
This week’s Scripture passage:
Hebrews 9:24-28
For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; for then he would have had to suffer again and again since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to remove sin by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
