(J And J Cast) People Proclaim Peace (Zeph 3:14 15; Ephesians 2:170 (Peace)
The peace of Jesus fills us when we know ourselves as people so precious to God that He died for us. The picture above comes from page 188 in your “Daily Texts.” His death destroyed the hostility that takes over in us and leads to a wrecked life (Ephesians 2:14-16). When you feel that hostility surfacing in you as a result of anger at yourself (GUILT) or anger at someone else (RESENTMENT), you know your peace is missing. Find a friend. Confess your anger to God in the presence of him or her. Then let that person proclaim peace to you by declaring that your anger is absolved by Jesus Christ. (See page 189.) On the cross, Jesus becomes your anger (your guilt, your resentment) so that you can live as His peace on earth. Today, you will hear how a friend freed Julie from her anger at herself by declaring her sins are forgiven in Jesus. This is our calling on earth. We get to set people free from their guilt or resentment by forgiving their sins. Proclaim peace today!
