Extract: FRIENDSHIP WITH THE PRINCE OF PEACE Once we have understood and received the gift of the Prince of Peace, we shouldn’t stop there. This table of communion is where we celebrate salvation. Those are the elements of his broken body. But if that is all that we do, we are short-venting an opportunity to grow. You see the Prince of Peace is our peace. You don’t have a friendship that stops and is frozen in place from the first day that you met each other. That would be crazy. It grows. It matures. It comes into something so much larger. And your life is enriched as a result, and that is the same with the Prince of Peace. As we spend more time with him, that peace will start to filter into our lives in so many ways. It will trickle into and heal broken relationships with our family members and friends. It may dribble into our neighborhoods or workplaces, where relational irritants are as present as the nearby ‘idiots’ we see daily – ‘idiots’, though, who are made in the image of God. We need to turn our thinking around. We need to be able to share this Person of Peace. You see, for some, peace needs to seep into our shattered dreams, yes, into our dreams. For you see, it is the Prince of Peace who has drawn us into his rule, to his community. So the brokenness of one person in a church, should be the brokenness of all of us. Dreams are hard when they are shattered.
