TO ALL When I come once again to this day we call Christmas. does the baby in a manger speak to me today? the angels say "Glory to god in the highest and on earth peace among men" ( Lk.2:14) peace among men that was supposed to be the result of the baby in the manger. Those people who chose to follow him are called to be peace makers. The business of peace for us knows no model but Jesus Christ. WE hear Him say "peace I leave with you, my peace I Give you ... ...Not as the world gives do I give to you ... . . .I have said to you, that in me you have peace"(jn14:27) >He also says "blessed are the peace maker for they may be called the >sons of God."(Mt 5:9) IF this is true it is also true to say >Blessed are the children of God for they are called to be peace-makers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
