So much of the world seems so divided in modern times: South Korea and North Korea, the Middle East, even the United States of America seems to have two opposing sides. We divide ourselves more and more based on arbitrary boundaries, skin color, religion, language, and economic status. We seem to have quickly forgotten the mistakes of the past, even the mistakes written about in the Old Testament. Did Christ die for nothing?Peace seems like a near impossibility these days. In the Old Testament, it would be almost unfathomable to read these verses, accepting Greeks, Jews, free or slave. The tone of the Christian religion has changed after Christ’s death. However, it is also easy to forget that the Old Testament God ruled alone, before his sensitive and begotten son lived amongst us, and before the Holy Spirit lived in and around us. The Lord our Father sits atop the Holy Trinity, but it is one body. It includes all people, all believers and non-believers alike, regardless of religion, race, color or creed. Like our own bodies, if the Heavenly body is to function, it requires harmony between all parts, peace between us on earth, harmony in Heaven.Prayer:Peaceful and loving Father, I adore you. I am humbled to call myself your servant, the greatest honor I can conceptualize. Lord, I pray for your forgiveness. I have sinned and live amongst sinners, but I hope that you can help grant peace upon my fellow men, and show mercy towards your followers. May your body of peace reign once again Lord, our strength and our redeemer. Amen.
