What better way to wrap up the year than to finish 1 Peter. The letter wraps up with an exhortation to greet one another in love and to enjoy the peace of God through the love of Jesus Christ. There are so many things beyond our control, as we discovered this year, and we have no idea what the next one holds. But we can do this -- we can be loving towards one another, and we can rest in Christ's peace. These are in our control. Christ's peace will never leave it, and it cannot be taken from you. You can be distracted so that you don't notice it, and you can be overwhelmed so that it doesn't cross your mind, but it's there, waiting for you, reaching out to you. Peace. Love.
