Gal 2:1-10 The Things that Make for Peace

In a world that is marked by divisions, conflicts, and wars, what are the things that make for peace? The followers of Jesus Christ are to be a people who, instead of finding ways to divide people, look for ways to bring people together. As followers of Jesus, we are called to orient our lives around making peace and spreading peace wherever we go. And the foundation for peace is the gospel. The message of faith alone in Christ alone is the only foundation for true peace.

The one thing that really struck me about this passage was the preparation that Saul had for his encounter with JEsus. HE was very well versed in Scriptures. We need to prepare our children as well while they are young, by encouraging memorization of the Scriptures. Saul already knew about the man, then he met Him as the Son of God. His encounter was personal and life changing.
Scripture gives us the foundation to build the peace that we seek.
