Peace and Joy

We have been talking about the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Furthermore, we have discussed the importance of our Lives Together here at Providence. A big part of who we are as Christians is how we relate to one another as forgiven sinners.
         Do we show that we are recipients of forgiveness by how much forgiveness we are willing to grant? Our desire as Christians should be to be as kind and gracious as our Father in Heaven.
         When we do this, when we forgive in this way, then there is no holding back both our own personal peace and joy and the peace and joy that reign in our midst as the people of God.

         Our chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. We do this at this Table as we commune with Him and with His people. There is no end to this kind of peace and joy.
