The Prayer Flower
by Nathan Brown | 25 July 2023 | Prayer is a lot like radio. We seat ourselves alone — perhaps in a small room — and talk to the wall in the hope that someone, somewhere is listening. Through a process and technology we barely understand, we try to reach out to the unseen listener. […] Source: https://atoday.org/the-prayer-flower-2/

The Saga of the Plastic Lamb
by James A. Ayars | 25 July 2023 | Historically, Seventh-day Adventists equated the two-horned lamb-like, dragon-speaking beast rising from the earth in Revelation 13:11-18 with the United States. The two horns represented Protestantism and Republicanism. The earth represented a wilderness area from which the United States arose. The United States would be “lamb-like” in […] Source: https://atoday.org/the-saga-of-the-plastic-lamb/

Wednesday: Jesus, Preacher of Peace
How does Paul summarize the ministry of Christ in Ephesians 2:17-18?
The concept of peace is important in Ephesians, with the letter beginning and ending with blessings of peace “from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 1:2, NKJV; compare Ephesians 6:23). Earlier in Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul argued that Christ personifies peace, “For He Himself is our peace,” and that His Cross creates it (Ephesians 2:14- 16, NKJV).

Christ not only destroys something — the hostility between Jew and Gentile (Ephesians 2:14-15) — He creates a new humanity, marked by relationships of reconciliation and peace (Ephesians 2:15-17). Such peace is not just the absence of conflict but resonates with the Hebrew concept of shalom, the experience of wholeness and well-being, both in our relationship with God (Romans 5:1) and with others.
How does Paul imagine believers participating in sharing Jesus’ message of peace? Ephesians 4:3; Ephesians 6:14-15; compare Romans 10:14-15, with Ephesians 2:17-19, Isaiah 52:7, Isaiah 57:19.
The Gospels contain examples of Jesus as a preacher of peace. In His farewell messages to the disciples, He promises them — and us — “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you” (John 14:27, NKJV). And He concludes, “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, ESV). After His resurrection, when He appears to the disciples, He repeatedly says to them, “Peace be with you” (John 20:19, John 20:21, John 20:26, ESV).
In Ephesians 2:17-18, Paul is keen to point out that Christ’s preaching of peace extended beyond the time of His earthly ministry. He has “preached peace” in the present to both “far” (Gentile believers before they were converted; ESV) and “near” (Jewish believers, ESV; compare Ephesians 2:11-13). Having accepted this proclamation, all believers experience a profound blessing.
| How can we learn to be preachers of peace as opposed to conduits of conflict? To what situations, right now, can you help bring healing? |
Amen!
