Share the Peace

You will notice that I changed the title to Eskay's Christian Notes. Yesterday I googled eskay's notes and found some "distractions" in other types of eskay's notes, so I decided to distinguish mine from the hip-hop artist's blog.
That being said, I hope to still rely on the theme of unsung hero/ines where we often find Christ when we weren't even looking. I discovered another key to finding Christ in others in the scripture reading today. After Christ's resurrection, His greeting began with "Peace to you" (Luke 24:36b) (John 20:26b) .
It is in those very words, Peace To You, that you always find Him.
Peace has nothing really to do with politics, or war, or neighborhoods even. The peace that Christ gives, and sends through unsung hero/ines, is the feeling of acceptance, contentment, and rightness with the world. That's why an endodontist, a child, a dog, a priest, a prisoner or even an enemy can bring the message of Christ's peace to us. Sometimes peace will come from a nonbeliever, or a Muslim, or a person you thought of as an enemy. That peace that we yearn for doesn't have "human" boundaries. It isn't a math formula, set up in a neat and concise way, and doesn't answer to laws of any sort, natural, religious, or manmade. Christ's peace is beyond the ideal point were parallel lines converge. But it is only His peace that is real. Find some of that peace to day and share it with others.
