TOPIC: LIVE IN PEACE
TEXT: HEBREWS 12:12-14
Key Verse: "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14).
Jato became a problem to everybody. Everyone hated his company. Even the school authority was planning to dismiss him from school. He was regarded as a troublemaker.
The atmosphere of rancour and trouble is hated by any peace-loving person. No meaningful progress can be made where peace and patience are absent. You wouldn't enjoy a home where mum and dad, brothers and sisters are always quarrelling with one another. Homes are broken because of lack of peace.
There is always violence and bloodshed when two communities cannot live together in peace. Even government projects are hindered and resources are wasted where there is no peace. Peace is necessary for the overall wellbeing of everyone. Spiritual and physical progress is enjoyed where peace exists.
These may be some of the reasons why God commands us to live in peace with every person. Note that peace has a companion - holiness. Peace is the offspring of a pure heart. Prayerfully, from a pure heart, show peaceful conduct to those around you today..
Prayer: O Lord, make me a peace lover in Jesus' Name.
