Love the bedrock
The undying Love of God underpins the peace he gives, which Jesus says we must first give out. People can be suspicious of love offered freely! But in a potentially prickly setting, the offer of peace is a good starter in which to begin to reach understanding. That we have such peace to dispense entirely depends on the love we know God is supplying.

Original Comment:Is peace the same as love?
I’m still finding my way into a Christian life and I’m a little surprised that the message isn’t that the first thing we should bring to a house is love: or is it that peace is love?
