The Cost of Peace

 

  • Scripture: Isaiah 5:1-7 and Psalm 80:1-2, 8-19  • J
  • eremiah 23:23-29 and Psalm 82  • 
  • Hebrews 11:29-12:2  • 
  • Luke 12:49-56
      • I always enjoy exchanging the peace at Church. At our church, everyone makes an effort to exchange the peace with everyone,  when possible. What does it mean to exchange God's peace? Considering today's Scripture, God's peace comes at a cost. Bonhoeffer, in his Cost of Discipleship, says grace is not cheap. What is the cost of God's peace? 

        Read two excellent articles which address God's peace; Debie Thomas' "Disturbing  the Peace," and The Rev. Canon Frank Logue's "The Cost of True Peace."
