For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. ~ Colossians 1:19-20 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
God has made a global peace for the world through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus.PRAYER:
We thank you, Lord, for your sacrifice on our behalf. We confess, though, that we don't pay so much attention to reconciliation. I mean, I appreciate how you have made peace with us through the cross. However, I conveniently overlook how that peace is supposed to happen throughout all of the creation. Give me eyes to see your peace at work and a heart for people from other cultures and places. I'm going to honor my Savior Jesus by living out the peace he has made with everything in heaven and on earth. Amen.
