Loving Reconciliation
Read 1 Peter
1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
DO you want to know how to get along with others—spouse, family, friends, and even your “enemies”? Take to heart these words from Peter. They are words of reconciliation. They are words of making and keeping peace. They are words to help you deal with harsh words others may say to you. These are words that help you live in line with Jesus’ teachings.
Peter’s letter tells you how to get along. Check out chapter 3, and you’ll find help for your marriage. Chapter 4 speaks of responding to those who oppose your Christian way of life. Chapter 5 talks of elders caring for others.
This letter goes to the heart of the church—people caring for each other, people withstanding suffering, and families living in harmony.
And who is at the center of Peter’s teachings? Of course, it is Jesus, the Prince of Peace, the Christ who cares for you.
Pray for Jesus’ caring touch on yourself today. Pray you can show that care to others. Yes, do love others deeply. That kind of love will make a profound difference in your life and those you touch each day.
Pause and Consider: you can enjoy the peace of the Prince of Peace.
