PEACE THROUGH CHRIST

DEUTERONOMY 4:39 (MSG)
Know this well, then. Take it to heart right now: GOD is in Heaven above; GOD is on Earth below. He’s the only God there is.

COLOSSIANS 1:19-20 (NLT)
For God in all his fullness
     was pleased to live in Christ,
and through him God reconciled
     everything to himself.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
The one God makes peace with all creation through Christ.

PRAYER
Glory to you, the one true God who is in charge of the heavens, the earth, and everything in between. We managed to mess things up but in your grace, you intervened and sent Christ to re-establish a healthy relationship between yourself and us. I admit that I add to the chaos when I try to make Christianity more complicated. Help me to stay focused on what Christ has done and to share that good news with all who will listen. I'm going to be a spokesperson for your peace. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
