The Good News of Peace

Job 5; Psalms 108; Acts 10-11 

“The voice spoke to him a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean…You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ who is Lord of all.”

Acts 10:15, 36

The good news of the Gospel is that we have been offered peace with God through Jesus Christ, and peace with each other.

Why peace with each other?

Because Jesus has broken down the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles, and every other wall separating cultures and people groups. The Jewish dietary and purification laws have been removed by God’s command; he has made all food clean. Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth; peace is possible through him. This message of vertical and horizontal peace in the name of Jesus is what we are called to live and share.

To whose house is God inviting us so we can testify to this good news?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for breaking down the walls and making peace possible, for your glory.”
