"For
God in all His fullness
was pleased to live in Christ,
and through Him God reconciled
everything to Himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
by means of Christ’s blood on the cross." (Colossians 1:19-20 NLT)
Peace
comes when there is no cloud between us and God. Peace is the consequence of forgiveness, God's
removal of that which obscures His face and so breaks union with Him. The happy sequence culminating in fellowship
with God is penitence, pardon, and peace -- the first we offer, the second we
accept, the third we inherit.
-- Charles H. Brent
