God’s Action For Peace
God’s Action for peace is seen in Jesus Christ on the Cross on our behalf. We
see God’s action in the Resurrection. We see God’s action for our peace in
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
Faith makes the earthly situation conform to the heavenly reality.
When Saul who later became St. Paul was persecuting Christians, Jesus confronted him.
Then Saul in fear and trembling and blindness trusted Jesus. Saul came into contact with
the Invisible and Unknown God. Saul became Paul. He became small. In weakness he
found God’s strength. By coming to terms with his own insecurities and insignificance he
was able to turn his life over to Jesus Christ the Creator to create a new man. He found
God’s calling irresistible. He found joy in his new calling. He found hope in despair.
He found the true knowledge of holiness and divine power. That’s why he says: ” I live,
yet not I”. God’s action for peace transformed Saul and us so we can say:
” I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and
the life I now live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God Who loved me and gave Himself
up for me.
(Galatians 2.20).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!
