I know you are. You\u2019re all about action. You\u2019re like, \u201cI know, I know, my life is messy, but what should I do?\u201d You want the correct tool so you can make the necessary changes. You\u2019re the people who make lists just so you can check stuff off \u2019em. So I\u2019ll tell you. Let\u2019s solve this.<br \/>\nRead this verse, from the apostle Paul\u2019s letter to the Ephesians:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cGrace to you, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Boom. You\u2019re welcome.<br \/>\n<strong>The remedy for the mess is grace and peace.<\/strong><br \/>\nSo yeah, grace and peace. That\u2019s God\u2019s prescription for how the messiness of life can be transformed, through Jesus. Grace and peace. Grace and peace. The remedy for the mess is grace and peace.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s look at those two words, grace and peace. Grace and peace. (Wondering why I repeat them so often? Because God does, and I\u2019m just following that lead! The New Testament uses those two words together fourteen times.)<br \/>\n<strong>You didn\u2019t earn it and you can\u2019t return it.<\/strong><br \/>\nSo grace. Grace isn\u2019t an exclusively Christian concept. At the time Paul was writing his letter to the followers of Jesus who lived in the city of Ephesus, the idea of grace was well established. All the way back to guys like Aristotle and Plato, you see the term grace used to describe something that is given, absolutely freely, with no expectation of return. Everyone understood grace to be about a generous gift, something you received for no reason, and something you couldn\u2019t pay back\u2014even if you wanted to. So that was the sketch on which Paul elaborated the Christian concept of grace.<br \/>\nPeace is a complicated word too, even though it seems simple. Peace is far more than the absence of conflict. The best way to understand biblical peace is with the Hebrew word shalom, which means both \u201cpeace\u201d and \u201cto join.\u201d The implication is that when something is separated, or broken, it needs to be fixed.<br \/>\nA relationship is separated, but then joined back together.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1698 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/Color-left.jpg\" alt=\"Color left\" width=\"225\" height=\"360\" \/>A bone is broken, but then joined back together.<br \/>\n\u201cShalom\u201d also happened to be the standard Hebrew greeting and salutation.<br \/>\n<strong>United in relationship<\/strong><br \/>\nI remember a kid from our church who went on vacation to Texas, and he came back with a shirt that said, \u201cShalom y\u2019all!\u201d Wouldn\u2019t it be great if we rocked more shirts like that? Shalom is all about putting things back together, and even better than before. If two people are fighting, biblical peace doesn\u2019t mean they simply stop fighting; it means they are united in relationship.<br \/>\nWith grace and peace, then, we\u2019ve got a generous, undeserved gift, linked up with the redemptive and restorative joining together of what is separated or broken. Becoming unbroken.<br \/>\nKnow anyone who could use that combo? Could you? Just talking about this gives me hope.<br \/>\n<strong>Grace + Peace = a Glorious Mess<\/strong><br \/>\nAnd notice that in the New Testament, it\u2019s always grace and peace, not peace and grace. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s an accident. I don\u2019t have anything against that famous English theologian, John Lennon, God rest his soul, but <strong>the problem with \u201cgive peace a chance\u201d is that peace has no chance,<\/strong> unless it\u2019s preceded by grace. Only when grace is given and received first does peace become possible.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s like Paul talks about in Ephesians 2:8-9, when he says, \u201cFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith\u2014and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God\u2014not by works, so that no one can boast\u201d (niv). See, the saving is all in God\u2019s court. All of it. Grace isn\u2019t just the gift we receive for no reason; it\u2019s the gift that keeps on giving. When, by faith, we accept his gift, we are saved .\u00a0.\u00a0. and absolutely none of the credit goes to us!<br \/>\nThe result, then, is that we close our mouths. No bragging, because we didn\u2019t do diddly-squat! And rather than bragging, we get down to living in the glow of that grace\u2014in the peace that is now possible.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-1699 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/Color-right.jpg\" alt=\"Color right\" width=\"215\" height=\"389\" \/><br \/>\nThink of that cheesy bumper sticker that happens to be one-thousand-percent true: \u201cNo Jesus, No Peace. Know Jesus, Know Peace.\u201d First comes God\u2019s grace\u2014always God\u2019s grace\u2014and only then does peace have a chance to follow. To flow out into our lives and the lives of those around us.<br \/>\nIt isn\u2019t easy or simple. But, by the literal grace of God, it becomes possible.<br \/>\nHow many times have you tried to repair something that\u2019s been broken, without first having received the gift of grace? That peace is always short lived.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s like when you have an issue in a friendship. It may not be anything enormous, but it\u2019s still a real issue, so you try to sweep it under the rug. Try to. Because the problem with sweeping things under the rug is that we don\u2019t expect the rug to have a pile under it, and eventually we trip over it, or the rug rips. <strong>At some point the rug has to be lifted, and the issue addressed for real.<\/strong> We\u2019ve all tried to keep the peace without giving the gift of grace, and it doesn\u2019t work.<br \/>\nSee, when God\u2019s grace grabs your heart, then you can go to somebody who\u2019s wronged you and you can truly offer peace. Because God has already given peace to you.<br \/>\n<strong>Enough to go around<\/strong><br \/>\nSo the remedy for this mess is grace and peace. It comes from God, it\u2019s made possible by Jesus, and it\u2019s empowered by the Spirit\u2014and it is something that we are meant to share with others.<br \/>\nIf your life is messy, God wants to give you a gift: the transformational power to change \u201cjust a mess\u201d into a glorious mess.<br \/>\nDescribe grace and peace in your own words.<br \/>\nWhere in your life do you need some shalom?<br \/>\nTo dive deeper into your mess, check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/books.thedisciplemaker.org\/honestly-5\/?utm_source=Honestly&amp;utm_medium=End%20text&amp;utm_campaign=How%20to%20Turn%20Your%20Mess%20Into%20Something%20Glorious#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Honestly: Getting Real with Jesus and Our Messy Lives<\/em>.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/books.thedisciplemaker.org\/honestly-5\/?utm_source=Honestly&amp;utm_medium=End%20Picture&amp;utm_campaign=How%20to%20Turn%20Your%20Mess%20Into%20Something%20Glorious\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/Honestly.jpg\" alt=\"Honestly\" width=\"278\" height=\"417\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I greet you with the grace and peace poured into our lives by God our Father and our Master, Jesus Christ.
