Celebrate Jesus!

“Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house!’”
Luke 10:5
When Jesus sent his disciples house to house, he instructed them to bring a gift to each; peace. Not just any peace, but the peace of Christ which simply offers the affirmation of the presence of Jesus to all those living in the house. Flowers are nice, as are cookies, but when you add the peace of Christ as a gift to a neighbor, you offer more than just something to add color to the kitchen counter or help feed the belly; you offer food for the soul. Being a neighbor is about sharing what Jesus has given you with someone else. So many in our communities are struggling with all sorts of challenges, so when you show up at your neighbor’s door, you are giving them a respite from their day, and affirmation that someone truly cares about them, enough to offer them the precious gift of Jesus and the peace that surpasses all understanding. Even those who say, “not today,” will never forget your kindness; because of your presence they will know the kingdom of God has come near. Share the peace of Christ with your neighbor and you will be a blessing as you have been blessed. Thank you Jesus for the privilege for sharing your peace with my neighbor.
