The God of Peace

Hebrews 12-13; Jude 

“May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”

Hebrews 13:20, 21

The God of peace has offered us peace with himself through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This peace with God allows us to experience the indwelling peace of God. This peace is powerful and stronger than the violence of sin and every conflict. God’s peace is eternal and it will overcome all rebellion, pride, and fear in this world.

Are we living in this peace?

As we live on mission with Jesus our great Shepherd, we are being equipped with everything good for doing his will, which is now possible through the Holy Spirit. God’s will is that no one would die without having an opportunity to make peace with himself through Christ. There is no peace without the God of Peace.

In what areas of our lives and in what relationships is God’s peace needed today?

Will we invite our Shepherd to lead us into his peace today?

“Lord Jesus, you are my peace. Make me an ambassador of reconciliation, for your glory.”
