…it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 10: 10
Read Hebrews 10: 5-10
We have been made holy not by anything we have done (in fact there is nothing we can do to make ourselves holy) but by the sacrifice of God’s son. The old way of sacrifice brought only temporary restoration of our relationship with God; Christ brings an everlasting peace.
This week I intend … [complete with your particular intention to be an instrument of Christ’s peace].
Lord Jesus, we quickly approach the celebration of your birth. When we think of infants, ours and others, we cringe at thought of sacrifice, yours or theirs. We are grateful that you have revealed to us a God who will go to such great lengths to be reconciled to us. Forgive us for holding grudges, seeing those unlike us as enemies to be conquered. Let us be instruments of the peace you bring. Amen.
