A People of Peace

After talking last week about justice in the Kingdom of God, and continuing to think about all the rancor and hostility and aggression we’ve been seeing in our country, I thought it’d be useful to talk about another word that is important in the Kingdom of God, and that's peace.

Join me today as we discuss . . .

1. The biblical concept of peace.

2. The fact that peace is not a goal but a result.

3. What peace looks like.

4.  The problem of peace in our world.

5. Some suggestions on how we as God's people can help create a culture of peace.

Jesus dreamed of a kingdom society, a society where God’s good will is done on earth as it is done in heaven. He dreamed of a society that in its soul was shaped by loving God and loving others, by justice for all and by peace that passes understanding. Peace flows from those who love sincerely and act justly. I believe if peace is going to get a chance today, it’s going to have to begin with those who claim to be followers of Jesus.
