In the future, GOD will settle all the disputes between nations and neighbors... All warring and violence will only be history.
LUKE 3:14 (CEV)
Some soldiers asked him, “And what about us? What do we have to do?”
John told them, “Don't force people to pay money to make you leave them alone. Be satisfied with your pay.”
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When we're following Jesus all forms of violence are a part of our past.
PRAYER
God of peace! During these challenging times, we're quick to come up with solutions for all the violence around us -- although we admit that they're all about what we think others should or shouldn't do. Indeed, even those who think of themselves as peaceful can spew violent and hurtful words. Help me to embrace your way of peace. Transform my thoughts, words, and actions in that direction. I'm going to leave every thought of violence in the past -- even the fantasies of revenge. 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.
