THE PEACEMAKER
Colossians 1:19-22
"For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fulness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth, or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight – .... "
The Nobel Peace Prize is given each year to someone who has been recognized as a peacemaker. I nominate the Lord Jesus as the peacemaker of the ages. The whole human race was at war with God. We were enemies of God. God did not hate us, but we hated God and by our thoughts and deeds were alienated from Him. But in His great love, He Himself in the fulness of Christ became the peacemaker and reconciled us to Himself by paying the price for our sin through His death on the cross . Oh, how great the Father's love!!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: Jesus, through His death, reconciled sinful man to the Father and brought peace.
Have a peace-filled day. Love you.
