He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near…(From Ephesians 2:13-18)
Peace…not war, not violence, not fighting, not putting others down, not revenge, not ridicule, not anything but peace, mercy, and love to ALL! Those who are far off from the church and from Jesus—he preaches peace to them. Those who are in the church—he also preached peace to them. How about you? How about your favorite politician? Do you and your politicians preach peace or does the ridicule, judgment, denigration, violence, war, and revenge seem to be the way and message you promote? Jesus preaches peace, my sisters and brothers in Christ, maybe we should too! Amen!
