We experienced a wonderful Sunday-after Easter worship service while traveling earlier this year. The pastor made the point: When Jesus said, "Peace be with you!", it wasn't a wish. It was a gift. This is God's gift to us. We have peace with God. It is a given. That being so, we must live at peace with one another. God's gift of peace calms the heart and makes peace possible between sister and brother in Christ. That is truly good news.
