in capturing staffers in rare form. Represented are (Front, L-R:) Youth Minister, Jonathan Lowery, Children and Senior Adult Minister,
Melissa Calton, Education Minister, Matt Monk, (Back, L-R:) Lay Outreach Minister, Mike Fitzgerald, Pastor Bo Brown, and Music Minister,

From
Your
Pastor’s
Heart
RevERAND
Bo
B r own
I was walking through the mall and passed by a sign shop. Curious as I am, I
paused for a moment to read a few. Most were catchy phrases or familiar bible
verses, but there was one that caught my eyes. It was made of the same material, used the same font, but it was the message that made me stop. It simply
read “The man on the middle cross said I can come in.” It struck me that there
was no theological statement tying this sign to a particular denomination, no
legalistic demand under it in subscript, just a simple message. As I pondered it
more deeply I realized, such is the power of the Gospel of Christ. It was John
3:16 in a simpler form. It was God so loving His creation that He gave us a way
to spend eternity with Him. He didn’t consult men or angels, but with His infinite wisdom sent the Man in the middle, that anyone who truly believes in Him
will have eternal life.
Does that not motivate you? Does it not make you want to stand upon
the roof tops and scream to a lost world of the love of Christ? Beloved we
have been placed in the Harvest not to hide from it, but rather to introduce a
lost world to a God who loves them, and His Son who died for them. Let us
commit 2014 to that task, understanding that God has entrusted us with the
responsibility to go.
I look forward to one day seeing the criminal who met Jesus on the cross
that day. I want to hear his story, to know what was going on in his mind when
he finally realized that next to him was not a common man, but instead the very
Son of God. And when he is done I hope he asks me how I got in. I will just
smile and say, “the Man in the middle said I can come in too,” and then laugh
together and share a hug. Let’s commit as a church and as THE Church to
introducing this world to that Man in the middle.
Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us.
We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.”
– 2nd Corinthians 5:20
Thankful and Blessed to be your Pastor,
Brother Bo

• january BIBLE STUDY
We were especially blessed
this January to have Dr.
Teman Knight visit us to
conduct our January Bible
Study. Dr. Knight chose to
share insights about the book
of the prophet Jeremiah
and over his four evenings
of teaching helped us gain a
greater appreciation for and
understanding of the life and
witness of the Old Testament prophet.
Dr. Knight, who currently serves as senior Pastor at
Montgomery’s Heritage Baptist Church, is a noted Bible scholar and teacher who has shared his knowledge
with churches all over the southeast and with countless
New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary students

in Louisiana and in Sheffield, as well as having served
as an Alabama State Missionary with the Alabama State
Board of Missions.

father, Bob, has been a pastor for many years and is
currently serving another church in the Birmingham
metro area.
• cbc men
The CBC Men held their first-ever open Turkey Shoot
on Saturday, November 16th. All the shooting had
some of Mike and Bobbie Carter’s neighbors wondering what was going on over there. The shoot was
well-attended and several turkeys and hams were
handed out to the winners in the various competitive
classes. Everyone considered it to have been a huge
success and discussions are ongoing when the next one
might be scheduled.
Members of CBC Men were also heavily-involved in
the Work Day at the church November 23rd.
Once January arrived, the next big thing was the
CBC Men’s quarterly breakfast meeting, which took
place on Saturday morning, January 11th. There was
a huge breakfast spread cooked up by the leadership
group and everyone who was fortunate enough to be
on hand benefitted from the devotional time. Time
was also devoted to discussing future plans.
There is pending discussion about holding a bowling outing soon. The group’s next quarterly breakfast
meeting is scheduled for Saturday, April 5th, starting at
7:30 a.m.
• new member and prospects classes
With the continuing influx of new members and prospective members, the time has come once again to
conduct our periodic New Members and Prospects
Classes. From time to time, this class time is set aside
to help acquaint new members and those who may be
interested in membership with the details of our denominational history and principles, our own church’s
history, vision, and beliefs, the structure of the church
organization and its various opportunities for service
and growth, and a variety of other beneficial types of
information.
This winter, those classes will be offered on two
Wednesday evenings: March 5th and March 19th, beginning at 6:30 p.m. both evenings.
If you or someone you know might be interested in
attending these informative classes, be sure to mark
them on your calendar. If you have any questions
about them, feel free to contact Bro. Bo or Bro. Matt.
• spring work day
Our periodic church-wide Work Day at the Church
will be held this spring on Saturday, April 12th, beginning at 7:30 p.m. If possible, make plans to join other
members of the church family as we spruce up the
church premises for the fast-approaching Easter season
and coming summer. As usual, there will be cleaning
and painting and straightening and purging and landscaping and who-knows-what-else to be done. But
it always makes the day go better and more quickly
when a fair number of folks are on hand and ready to
work. Hope we’ll see you then.
• summertime Boston mission
While the exact details are still being worked out by
our church Mission Team, we have committed to conduct another summertime special mission trip to the
New England area. More detailed information will be
forthcoming soon and anyone who might be interested
in being a part of the mission trip is urged to contact
Russ Compton or Rebekah Parr for more information.

SBC President Fred Luter, Jr.,
to Keynote Special Midweek
Worship Service February 26th
More than a year in the making, the long-awaited and highlyanticipated visit of Southern Baptist Convention President, Dr.
Fred Luter, Jr., to Community Baptist will finally take place on
Wednesday, Februar y 26th. Dr. Luter will deliver a message
as the crowning moment of a special worship ser vice that will
begin that evening at 6:30 p.m.
Similarly, last spring, Dr. Luter’s predecessor, Br yant
Wright joined us for a special midweek ser vice. Wright
ser ved as President for the 2011-2012 church year. Most
SBC Presidents in recent years have ser ved a single one-year
term, although a maximum of 2 one-year terms is permitted.
Dr. Luter, who was first-elected in June 2012, was re-elected
at last June’s convention to ser ve a second term and was
unopposed when the election took place. He received a
standing ovation.
The 57-year-old native New Orleanian has ser ved Franklin
Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans since 1984. Prior
to Hurricane Katrina, the church had grown to over 7000
members, and it has re-grown post-Katrina to over 5,000. His
growth strategy is based on what is known as “FRANgelism,”
with the FRAN standing for “Friends, Relatives, Associates and
Neighbors” who are the keys to the networking that can both
expand and strengthen the body of Christ.
After a motorcycle accident was his “road to Damascus
moment” in 1977, he began his ministr y by preaching on street
corners and then in church’s in the city’s Ninth Ward. He
sensed a need to especially reach out to men and aggressively
pursued them in a variety of ways.
He and his wife, Elizabeth, have two adult children. Their
son, Fred Luter III, is also a Baptist pastor.
Dr. Luter is widely-regarded as one of the most dynamic
and engaging presentday pulpit preachers
and we are privileged
to have him come fill
ours on this special
night. The ser vice will
be open to all who
wish to come be par t.
with Comedian Scott Davis
When the Sunday of the Big Game rolls around, the
Community Baptist family has regularly enjoyed a unique and
high-spirited time of fellowship and worship that evening.
This time around, we’re especially blessed to be visited by
Christian comedian, Scott Davis.
Scott received Christ at the age of sixteen. He graduated
from Liber ty University in Lynchburg, VA, in 1984. He
attended Liber ty on full scholarship as a member of Liber ty’s
Light Singers and traveled across the US and to 10 foreign
countries with the group. Scott’s ministr y has continued in
the U.S. and abroad since his graduation and he has taken
the gospel of Christ personally and via television to hundreds
of thousands of people.
He has appeared on Mark Lowr y’s videos and has written
comedy for Mark. Scott appeared weekly on the national
television show, “The Mark & Kathy Show,” with Mark Lowr y
and Kathy Troccoli. Along with his weekly appearances, he has
been a guest on numerous religious and secular radio and
television broadcasts, including an appearance with comedian
Dennis Swanberg on “Swan’s Place.”
Today, Scott conducts “GET REAL” national conferences
with the nations top speakers and musicians. He also
presents music and comedy concer t events called “Hope
Through Hilarity,” which are extremely conducive to inviting
the lost and unchurched.
Among Scott’s fans is Dr. Charles Stanley, of First Baptist
Church of Atlanta, who says, ““There are performers and
then there are those who minister the Word of God. Scott
truly ministers the Word of God. Each time he has been to
First Baptist, he has been a blessing to all of us.”

CBC EAGLES
CBC DOVES
The Eagles gathered for their annual Christmas event
with 38 present to enjoy the food
and activities. Much laughter was
shared and new friendships made
as all shared in the evenings events.
Many thanks go to the Compton Family who led in Christmas music after a
delicious meal and then all gathered
around for Christmas fun.
The next EAGLE gathering is scheduled for March.
All Senior Adults are invited to take part in EAGLE
events.
The EAGLES’ ongoing mission project is to help
provide snacks for the ESL sessions. Anyone wishing
to help, please leave snacks in the kitchen in the box
marked ESL.
For more information regarding the EAGLES, please
contact Reba Hatcher.
The DOVES are CBC’s ministry team who serve
in the Inreach program which tries to reach out to
members and regular attendees
during times of need, special occasions or just because…
An example is during the month
of December, 78 cards were sent,
20 visits made and phone calls
were made to reach out and encourage members.
DOVE members serve in the Homebound Ministry
by visiting those unable to attend Sunday School on a
regular basis due to an illness by providing SS lessons
on DVD, educational materials, and other items to
cheer and uplift those served. If you are homebound
or know of someone who would like to be placed on
the list to be served, please contact Reba Hatcher .
If you are an adult, and would like to be a part of this
ministry, please contact Reba at 663-0067.
Community Women Connecting
Ja
n u a r y
2 0 1 4 Over the past few months, the ladies of Community
Women Connecting have been very busy as we have
planned and conducted events and have continued the
process of connecting women with one another and
with God. In the coming weeks we hope to continue
those efforts and foster even more connections.
Our November 22nd evening event–themed “Caring for Others – Working Together”–saw 36 ladies
gathered together as we enjoyed a wonderful meal,
outstanding fellowship and had a lot of fun assembling gift boxes for distribution to the women of the
Shelby County Community Corrections Work Release
Program. We enjoyed hearing from Alesha Smith,
Residential Manager at the Corrections Facility, as she
shared how God had placed her in her position as she strives to
help the detainees work toward stable lives when their residency
is completed. We also were touched by a wonderful devotion time by our own Laurita Miller about reflecting upon the
people who God has put in our lives that cared for us in hard
times.
Following this event, we traveled to Columbiana to the
Shelby Baptist Association Office on the afternoon of December 15th to host a wonderful meal and time of celebration with
18 women from the Corrections Work Release program. We
arrived early to deck out the room with Christmas decorations
and prepared a wonderful meal that we
shared and enjoyed with the ladies. Debbie Reeves shared a touching devotional
moment, and then we had more sharing
as we distributed the gift boxes to the
women and enjoyed a wonderful time of
singing and praising God together with
the musical assistance of the Compton
family.
The CWC Team members especially
thank those of our church family who
donated all the items that went into the
gift boxes. We thank Vicki Chapman for
pulling us out of the fire by helping us finalize the food and set-up at the Association office, Linda Bode
for hand-making all of the scarves that went into the boxes,
Bro. Dave Miller for his time and efforts of putting together
praise and worship and Christmas CD’s, Bro. Matt Monk for
ordering the Journey magazines, the Compton family for helping us with praise and worship, and Dana and Jessica Hollingsworth for joining us and helping us celebrate!
On Saturday morning, January 25th, we had a special
Brunch event. Stephanie Brown was our speaker and we shared
more information about a variety of upcoming group and individual opportunities.
We certainly look
forward to seeing all the
women at the upcoming events. Be sure and
check out our future
events and plan to be a
part of our time together.

Youth Minister
Dear Community Family,
Wow can’t believe that it’s already 2014! I am eager and
excited to see what God has in store for us this year!!!
As 2013 ended, we had a really active time, with
lots going on, like:
• On Sunday, November 10th, we had our
S.N.A.C./BIG MAC TIME. After our Veterans
Recognition Service that evening we went out to
eat together, then came back together to watch the
movie Turbo.
• On Saturday, December 7th, Missions and Movie:
Due to scheduling conflicts we had to reschedule
the mission, but we went as a group to see the new
movie Frozen. Stay tuned as we will have the dates
for the mission activity soon
• On Sunday December 22nd - we had our annual
Youth Christmas Party. This year we had the opportunity to go Christmas Caroling before the party.
The caroling was such a blessing as we got to share
the joy of Christmas with those in our community.
Then we returned to the Youth House and had our
party (which is always fun!) and we played NICE
(not “dirty”) Santa, and, of course, ate some really
good food.
• On Friday, December 27th, we headed to the
mall where we spent 3 hours or so exchanging all of
the Christmas sweaters and wrong-sized socks that
we’d received for Christmas.
• January 10 - 12 was our Youth Blast 2014!!!! We
once again converged on the Alabama 4-H Conference Center near Columbiana and we had an
awesome time devoting a whole weekend to God!!!
Both individually and as a youth group, we grew
closer to God over the weekend and had fun doing
so!!!!
Don’t think that just because its a new year that
things are going to slow down. Here are some upcoming

2014
from Brother Matt Monk
Education Minister
What Difference Will You Make?
What difference will you make for God in 2014?
That is the question we are asking everyone to ponder during the month of January. As I write
this we are in an emphasis on stewardship. Stewardship in its basic forms is a management
of resources. During the month of January we are discussing some of the resources God has
entrusted us to steward for His name and for His kingdom. In Sunday School, each class is
spending time considering the resources of time, talent, and treasure and how we each are
entrusted to use these resources with our lives. We are also offering practical ways to apply
these resources while we go through the Andy Stanley study called “Breathing Room. “
I encourage you to consider what God has entrusted you with in each of these areas and how
you can apply these resources to the things that matter most. Here are some thoughts on each
area:
Time: Each of us have the same hours in a day, week, and a year. However the amount of
time each person has left on this earth is different. Moses prayed in Psalm 90 for God to teach
him how to number his days so that he could develop a heart of wisdom . One thing that Andy
Stanley said that stuck with me came on his Breathing Room message on time is “If my time
is limited, then I need to limit what I do with my time. Let me ask you, how do you spend
your time? Do you spend time daily with God in His word and in prayer? How are you at
devoting time to your spouse and kids? Do you make good use of your time at work? Do you
try to spend time with fellow Christians? Take some time and see how you are spending your
time. Consider doing a time diary for a week and write down each activity you are engaged
in and how long you are spending in each activity. This activity will demonstrate how you
are spending your time. Another activity that will help is getting in a small group. There
are several options available. There is Sunday School at 9:45 AM. There is Bible Study on
Wednesday evenings. We also will be offering additional discipleship classes from March 2April 27 each Sunday at 4:30 PM. We will be offering a class on personal finance as well as a
class for women presented by CWC. We also have Discipleship small groups that meet during
the week at various times and locations.
Talents: What talents and abilities has God given you? One wonderful aspect of a church
is that it is filled with people with many talents and abilities. In our church we have people
who are mechanics, teachers, accountants, ministers, carpenters, stay-at-home moms, scientists, college professors, fire fighters, nurses, police officers, and computer programmers to
name just a few. In addition to career talents, we have people who are good at music, art,
graphics, and theater. The talent in our church is tremendous. God has given us each unique
gifts and abilities to use for his kingdom. I encourage you to sit down and consider how God
has uniquely designed you to serve in His kingdom. Last fall we offered a course called Jesus
on Leadership that had each participant complete a profile to consider a person’s spiritual
gifts, the things that they were enthusiastic about, their personality, their vocational skills, and
their experiences. From this a person could get a clearer picture of how God designed them
Ja
n u a r y
2 0 1 4 P
a g e
S A T U R D A Y - M A R C H 1 ST
and where they should serve. I would encourage
you to take time to complete one of these profiles. If you are interested in taking one, please
let me know. Then get involved in a ministry
that will put your talents to use. If you would
like to know more about the ministries that you
can be a part of here, let a member of our nominating team know. This team consists of Jim
Kilpatrick, Rusty Tanner, Rhonda Ward, and
Matt Monk.

Treasure: Of all the stewardship topics we
cover, this is probably the personal. For many
people, the perception of a church or Christians
is that it is an organization that wants their
money. Of course this perception is not true but Jesus does spend more time in scripture talking about money than He does about Heaven and Hell. Jesus taught the principal that “where
your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Many times, our treasures are here on earth as
evidenced by the amount of money spent and borrowed on things that won’t last. However God
wants us to invest a part of the treasure He has given us so that we can be part of what He is doing in His kingdom. How are you doing in this area? Do you need to begin to give? Could you
give more? Are you giving cheerfully as prescribed by Paul in 2 Corinthians 9? I encourage
you to evaluate this area of your life. Track spending and see if there needs to be any changes in
the level you are committing to God’s kingdom work. As mentioned above, if you need help in
this, we are offering a six-week course on personal finance from March 2-April 27.
So what difference will you make in 2014? Have you thought about it, made any goals, sought
the heart of God? I encourage you to consider the difference you can make using the resources
you have. Make a commitment to make a difference, and follow through. Remember God never
calls us to be successful, but He does call us to be faithful. Where can you be more faithful to
Him? Where will you make a difference?
As always, if I can help you in any way to discover the difference that you may make for God,
please let me know. You can contact me any time by email at [email protected] or by phone at 368-8785
Looking forward to making a difference for God in 2014!

ISAIAH 58
1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew
my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a
nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of
their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take
delight in approaching to God.
3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?
Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all
your labours.
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist
of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your
voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict
his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread
sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an
acceptable day to the Lord?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of
wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed
go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring
the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the
naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from
thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine
health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go
before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry,
and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst
of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking
vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the
afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul
in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a
watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places:
thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and
thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of
paths to dwell in.
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy
of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine
own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine
own words:
14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause
thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with
the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it.

From Isaiah 58:
Much of What God Expects from His People
ears back Isaiah 58 swept through our nation because of the
naming of so very many of the things that are pleasing to our
God found within this one chapter in the Bible, as well as the
incredible blessings He promises to those who endeavor to keep sacred
these tasks that He sets before us.
We quickly discern in the first verse that He is not pleased with those
who approach Him in total confidence of their own righteousness in a bold
and loud manner like a blaring trumpet. They assert that they have prayed and
fasted and He did not answer their prayers. He counters that in the days of
their fasting, they did their own pleasures and did not afflict themselves before
Him. He further informs them that they fast for strife and debate, praying to
smite others for vengeance, to get the better of them. He calls this a “wicked
fast“ and says He will not hear it.
He then proclaims what is the true fast of the Lord which will be heard.
He says to loose the bands of wickedness, which is to undo the heavy burdens
we may be oppressing others with. He tells us to remove the yoke and free
them. He says to feed the poor, open your home to the outcasts, clothe the
naked and most certainly do not hide yourself from your own family in the
doing of all these good things. He then proclaims that (vv 8-9) (t)hen shall thy
light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily:
and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy
reward. Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he
shall say, Here I am.
In the verses that follow He instructs that we are to put away the yoke of
heavy burdens and the pointing finger speaking vanities and putting down of
others. He directs that we have a heart for the hungry and afflicted and help
them.
Those verses are followed by His promise that then, your light will shine
amongst others and your darkness will be as the noon day sun. Then, the Lord
will guide and feed you in the droughts and make your bones strong and make
you like a watered garden and your water, will never fail. Then your lineage
will build up the old broken down places and you will raise up the foundations
of many generation and you will be called the repairer of the breach, the
restorer of paths to dwell in.
He then cautions not to take our pleasures on His Holy day, the Sabbath.
We must understand that Sunday is the Lord’s Day for the gentiles since we
as well are counted the seed of Jacob and Abraham is our father as well, we
are to keep the Lord’s Day in respect for Him. Keep laboring to a minimum.
Honoring His day means going to church to hear His word and not finding
your own pleasure, elsewhere. Eating out with friends after church is fine.
Food and fellowship keeps labor to a minimum and God loves to see His
family enjoying fellowship together. We are not bound by law; we are under
grace and have free will to make choices. That being said, the wise know that
blessings can come from wise choices, especially when pleasing God on His
Holy day. Learn to delight in His Holy day. Remember the promised blessing;
when you cry, He will answer, “Here am I.”
The chapter closes with His promise: “Then shall thou delight thyself in
the Lord and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth and
feed thee with the heritage of Jacob, thy father.; For the mouth of the Lord has
spoken it.”
Love in Christ,
Mrs. Ann

Rita and I recently spent a few days away and it proved
beneficial in a variety of ways. She was able to enjoy some
extended hours reuniting with the sand and crashing waves,
despite colder weather, and I was able to just relax, enjoy
some recreational reading and rest. It was a welcome respite
for us both. There was a flood of peaceful, at-ease moments
to enjoy during those days.
Among the nine fruits of the spirit that the Apostle Paul
enumerated in his letter to the believers at Galatia, it may
by Brother Dave Miller, Music Minister
well be that peace is one of the most difficult to routinely
have. Surrounded as we all are by floods of reported incidents of things “gone wrong with the world,” and beset as many are with concerns about health and wealth
and general well-being, not to mention spiritual concerns, is it any wonder that sedatives are so heavily
prescribed and many folks turn to a variety of substances or escapes to overcome the lack of peace.
“But what is peace?” I pondered one morning at the beach after re-visiting Calvin Miller’s excellent
study. Being something of a “word person,” I was surprised at the difficulty I had in coming up with an acceptable definition on my own. Others have described peace as being an absence of dissension, violence, or
war. It may also justly be considered to be existing in concord, or harmony and tranquility.
There are those of our acquaintance who are the “Chicken Littles” of the world, whose lives or circumstances seem always to run calamity to calamity and fear to fear. How difficult it must be to perceive
harm and threat constantly, even where none exists. While it is only natural to try to assess and prepare for
challenges, those who turn life’s challenges into life-altering worry fail to embrace our Lord’s teaching and
assurance.
As His evening communing with His disciples in the upper room came to a close, Jesus sought to
strengthen and enlighten his closest disciples, who clearly then had little or no understanding about what
was soon to transpire. In chapter 14 of John’s epistle, Jesus says:
• “Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me.” (14:1)
• “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Your heart must not
be troubled or fearful.” (14:27)
“ . . . must not be troubled or fearful?” What? My human nature screams that it is impossible to not
fear or be troubled. Just as it was His human nature to show distress to the point of sweating blood as He
prayed concerning his impending crucifixion. Yet, His obedient heart and spirit enabled him to find His
own peace as He submitted to His Father: “Not My will, but Thine.”
Perhaps there lies the most important key: submission to God’s authority. Jesus said that He was giving
His peace to them (and us), but it was a peace unlike the world’s.
The closest current-day example of such a sense of peace I can conjure up
would likely be the seeming peace of Dr. Martin Luther King as he shared his
“I Have a Dream” speech, bravely shared with a foreboding of his premature
death. Or the calmness our beloved friend, Jerry Hendon, demonstrated as
his life ebbed away not long ago.
It is hard to confess that I still allow things “I can’t control” to cause me
concern. An abiding tranquility would be a wonderful thing, and I realize
(though not necessarily fully practice yet) leaving the concerns in His hands,
for He is greater than I. And He promised that He has given me His peace.
Just like my salvation, it is my place to accept His gift of peace.
