DAY Seventeen: December 14 - Wednesday
“My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would ght to
prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from
another place.” John 18:36
Jesus is, instead, the Prince of Peace whose Kingdom will be
established through self-sacri cial love. All the kings of history
compelled their subjects to die for them to establish and maintain their
kingdom. Jesus is the only King who dies for His people in order that
they might enter His peace.
…since we have been jus ed through faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by
faith into this grace in which we now stand. Romans 5:1-2
Let us pour out the bi erness in our hearts in order for God to ll them
with His peace.
❅FOR CONTEMPLATION:
Romans 15:13
❅FOR REFLECTION:
How would you de ne peace in ten words or less?
Apart from Jesus, who is your example of peace? Why?
❅FOR PRAYER (ONE-MINUTE):
“Father, thank You for the peace that exists between You and me.
Thank You for Jesus Who makes it so. Without Him I do not know
peace in this world.” (pause)
“I pray this day to be an agent of peace in the world. I pray to speak the
words of peace. I pray to do the ac ons of peace. I pray for Your
wisdom to know what leads to peace.” (pause)
