Piece On Peace! (part 8 of 8)

In Paul's letter to the church at Colossae, we read. . .
"(19) For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, (20) and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, MAKING PEACE BY THE BLOOD OF THE CROSS. (21) And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, (22) he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him." ( Colossians 1:19-22 ESV)

According to verse 20, what two realms does God's peace encompass and how does that encourage you?
How often do you experience a lack of peace because you are at odds with others?
What is necessary for reconciliation to take place?
What was the cost of our reconciliation with God?
Pray that you can be as gracious and merciful with others as God has been with you. This may provide the opportunity to draw others to the Lord to experience the same reconciliation we have received through Christ.

Have a great day APPRECIATING OUR RECONCILIATION IN CHRIST.
Carl
