Peace and Forgiveness

I have paraphrased this verse as "Make peace; do peace, and you will be blessed, being recognized as a child of God." It is our obligation as believers to be the vanguard of peace among the lives of those around us. What's interesting in this verse is the active nature of what is being expressed. Yeshua appears to be emphasizing the doing or the making of peace. By this reckoning, peace is not something that just happens; it involves work and effort to bring it about. That's what we are discussing today; what is involved in bringing about peace in our lives and the lives of those around us?-----If you enjoyed this weeks podcast, be sure to visit coreofthebible.org to join the conversation through comments, to see daily blog posts on these topics, and to find free downloadable resources regarding the message of the Bible reduced to its simplest form.Have questions about todays topic, or comments or insights you would like to share?
