Getting the Peace You Need

“The God of peace” is a phrase found five times in the New Testament.  In the apostle Paul’s letters to the churches at Rome, Philippi, and Thessalonica--places where he ministered--he refers to God as the God of peace.  Then the writer of Hebrews ends his letter with this blessing: “Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will. . . .” (Hebrews 13:20-21).
