“Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who use the sword will die by the sword.” ~ Matthew 26:52 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Jesus calls his followers to be non-violent because the only thing that violence leads to is more violence -- and death.PRAYER:
Lord Prince of Peace, thank you for leading us into a different way of solving problems. However, I admit that even though I don't believe in violent actions sometimes my words are violent. I say things that are as piercing as a sword. Save me from my own impulsiveness and rage. I want to follow Jesus and be all about peace in my thoughts, words, and deeds. Amen.
