Reconciled

20 September 2010

Colossians 1:19-20 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

When we understand that God has reconciled Himself to us and that through that reconciliation we are at peace with God, it should be a simple step to then come to peace with oneself and with others. That peace that dwells within a person who is reconciled in that peace that Jesus Christ gave His disciples as a gift on the night of His betrayal. No matter what, that peace will prevail in the hearts of those who are reconciled to God, knowing that this peace no person can or is able to take away. This is a peace that is beyond understanding; it is a mystery, a gift that takes away all those things that cause anxiety and fear.

As we come to understand this we need to appropriate this in our thinking, our breathing and our very being. God is no longer angry with us; He is no longer going to condemn us, because He has made peace with us. The question for the world today is whether they want to make peace with God? This implies making peace with each other, no longer trying to out do one another, or to cheat, but simply to do what is right. Right not in the eyes of men, but right in the eyes of God!

Be encouraged today to find that peace which comes from Christ.

David

Point to ponder: Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the bright Morning Star.

Question to consider: Have you accepted the gift of peace from God?
