Grace, not peace
After reading the article about "What's So Amazing About Grace", I came to the conclusion that perhaps it is Grace we want on Earth, not Peace. And I say this because it seems that Grace needs to come first and then Peace will follow. If we can turn the other cheek and believe that God forgives those who trespass on us/the world, then we follow an example for behavior that is worthy of God, rather than acting out against those trangressors. And then if others did the same, offering Grace rather than anger and retribution, then we would have a world that realized that others are different but that God loves them just the same. And I think that is Peace. If God loves someone, how can you wage war on them...that would presume that you are greater than God. Of course this means that you first have to accept this endless Grace and what it means.
