"Peace to the far-off, peace to the near-at-hand," says God—
"and yes, I will heal them."
ACTS 10:36 (CEB)
This is the message of peace he sent to the Israelites by proclaiming the good news through Jesus Christ: He is Lord of all!
THE ESSENCE
Once Jesus is acknowledged as Lord over all there will be peace for all.
DAILY FODDER
What do we mean when we say that Jesus is Lord over all? How does this generate peace?
PRAYER
Christ, I'm thankful that I can acknowledge your lordship over my life and all creation. Forgive me for acting as though this is a distant unrealized reality. Turn my life into a gentle megaphone proclaiming that "Jesus is Lord over all." I'm confident that as this reality takes root things will change and peace with global healing will prevail. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
