Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. (NIV)
In Luke, the risen Christ appears to the distraught disciples speaking the words “Peace be with you” or as Jesus would have spoken, shalom,
What is peace? – the absence of war? Ah, much more than that, my friends.
True peace is “freedom of the mind from annoyance, distraction, anxiety, an obsession, etc.; tranquility; serenity,” Harun Hadzic says, “Peace is what every normal person dreams of.”
Rev. Mary Powell
