"May the God of peace prepare you to do good," Hebrews 13:20, 21.
The God of peace? Yes. The one (and only!) God who raised up Jesus from the dead. The God who made Jesus the great shepherd of his sheep. The God who established an eternal covenant through the blood of Christ. This God. This God made peace between himself and ourselves. May this God prepare us to do good. What good? To do the good that does his will. The good that pleases him. The good mediated through Jesus, his Christ. The good that glorifies this God for ever.
We visit with a brother or sister today in the peace of Christ. And together we give thanks to God for Jesus' sacrifice that makes our doing of his will good.
