Grace and Peace

Again I'd like to promote Truth For Life with a suggestion to listen to a message titled "Three Facts True of Every Christian". It is a short study about the person Peter and how we can really relate to him in our Christian walk. You can listen to TFL messages online here. Hopefully this message will still be in view of the broadcast archives by the time you read this.

Something that caught my attention and prompted me to post is that Alistair said this:
So we have Peter being obedient in a boat.
We have Peter being faithful on the water.
We have Peter being tough in the garden.
We have Peter running scared in the courtyard.
Finally, we have Peter being restored on the shores.

I won't elaborate further because I don't think I could say it any better than Begg, so please give it a listen.

At the end of the message he says a bit about grace and peace, from the greeting in 1 Peter verse 1:2 -- "Grace and peace be yours in abundance". This is what we need for tomorrow. If we are looking for a job, we need grace and peace. If we are dealing with a cantankerous boss, we need grace and peace. If we ARE a cantankerous boss, we need grace and peace.

I can name a good number of aspects of my life in which grace and peace would be good and is quite necessary. Think of how Jesus deals with us -- with Grace and Peace.

I heard that bit about Grace and Peace on the way into work the other day. And it's spoken volumes into my heart this week. Thanks for posting.

Sure thing. It's my joy to share. Jesus powerfully gives us grace when we humbly ask for it and accept it.
