I have been noticing how that Paul puts a fairly large emphasis on peace. If you look at the openings and conclusions of his letters he normally bestows some kind of blessing of peace. One could even say that Paul’s call for unity in Philippians is a call for peace. I think that we as Christians, as American, do not put enough emphasis on the peace and harmony that Christ has brought to us.
I see peace as part of the harmony of being that Christ died to give us (Joy and the Holy Spirit being the other parts). We often try to fill our life with so much business that we can never come to understand nor experience the Peace that Paul speaks of. I think that we should whole-heartedly be seeking the peace of God. Those that are not seeking peace, make me wonder, did Christ come only to save your life and not to change your life?
May Peace favor you,
Danny the Red.
