TOPIC: Pursue Peace Earnestly 1
TEXT: Heb. 12:13-15
MESSAGE
It is the duty of Christians even when in a suffering state and face-off to follow men with peace. Two wrongs cannot make right. It is not Mathematics where two negatives become plus . Wrong is wrong. We have to prove ourselves as God's children to follow the examples of Christ especially at the scene of His arrest where He picked up the ear of Marcus and divinely gummed or restored it. It shows maturity and Christianity, if we follow the path of peace even with those who are instrumental to our suffering. It is a hard and difficult lesson which should be highly attained for those who profess Christianity which Christ himself has called us into. It is almost a compulsion but necessary to live peaceably with all men as Roman 12: 18 states "If it is possible for as much as it lieth in you, live peaceably with all men."
Verse 14 of our text instructs
"Follow peace with all men and holiness without which no man can see God".
Peace and holiness are twined, they go hand in hand. We must not under pretence of living in peace with men leave the ways of holiness. Beloved, holiness is the ground on which peace must be cultivated. True Christian holiness is never found separate from peace. Thirdly is the sentence "without which no man can see God". A placid peaceably disposition contributes much to our meetness in heaven. It becomes laughable to see Christians stirring up themselves for trouble or even becoming offensive. Let us chide away anger, wrath, unforgiveness, hatred and embrace peace. Good morning.
