“又要让基督的平安在你们心里作主;你们蒙召归为一体,也是为了这个缘故。你们要有感谢的心。”
歌罗西书 3:15
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.”
Colossians 3:15
Paul was writing to a church he’d never visited but had heard about from his friend Epaphras. He was concerned that as they encountered false teaching, they were losing the peace of Christ. But instead of admonishing them, Paul encouraged them to trust Jesus, who would give them assurance and hope (v. 15).
We all will encounter times when we can choose to embrace or refuse the rule of Christ’s peace in our hearts. As we turn to Him, asking Jesus to dwell in us, He will gently release us from the anxiety and cares that weigh us down. As we seek His peace, we trust that He will meet us with His love.
What situations or relationships weigh on your mind and heart?
Jesus,
You give peace that passes all understanding.
Help me embrace Your peace in every area of my life.
