JUST FOR TODAY: Peace OF and WITH God... how wonderfully amazing!!!

[Lynn D. Walker]

"Now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.  For He himself is our Peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation"  ~Ephesians 2:13-14.  PRAISE GOD!!!  NO MORE SEPARATION FROM HIM!!!

JUST FOR TODAY: Peace is much more than just enjoying a calm day after a rough night.  That is the Peace OF God, and I'm not saying these moments are not important; they are very important.  But Peace WITH God is even more important.  We were born distant from God because of our sin.  Our sin put us so far from God that we were called His enemies!!  Sin stained all of us and made it impossible for us to reconcile ourselves and make Peace with God.  But then along came Jesus!!  He changed our predicament with His salvation by Grace through Faith.  Let's all be thankful today that Jesus transformed us from "enemies" of God into His children.  Now that's Peace!!!  ~Pastor Lynn
