Pastor Jason began our journey through Romans this past Sunday. In Romans 1 & 2, the Apostle Paul boldly proclaims the Gospel as the only true source of grace and peace. The unrighteousness of man’s heart leaves the human soul in a desperate and weary state. There is nothing that man can look to in God’s creation and nothing in man's pursuit of morality that can provide true peace. It is only the perfect righteousness that God provides in the grace of Christ that can give peace to the restless and weary soul.
In what ways do you find yourself looking for peace in the circumstances and people of your life? Do you ever find yourself striving to be good in order to find peace? “28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:28-29 ESV).
