The Beginning of Peace

PEACE WITHOUT END


Peace is such a great, yet elusive blessing. People will try anything from medication to meditation in order to experience peace. But peace is much more than something we experience. It is a gift from  God, a gift the church can enjoy now and for all eternity.

Can you name some things people turn to in their quest for peace? Who is behind man-made promises of peace?

Luke records a powerful story about sin, forgiveness, and peace in his Gospel.
Read John 1:24-25 and Luke 7:36-39.
  • Why do you think Simon the Pharisee invited Jesus to dinner?
  • What unusual things did the unnamed woman do?
Read Luke 7:40-50.
  • What does Jesus mean by the last words He speaks in this story (v.50)?
  • How has He fulfilled the promise of these words?
