Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. In Hebrew Jerusalem means the
City of Peace. In Arabic it means Holiness and in Greek the Holy City. Claimed
by Jew, Moslem and Christian as the capital of their respective faiths the holy
city of peace has seen more than its fair share of violence and bloodshed. But
while the psalmist would pray for the peace of Jerusalem for the sake of
relatives and friends the holy peace that befits the Lord’s house is peace for
the world. That kind of peace cannot be established by walls and towers. That
kind of peace will not be established by military might. The peace that
prospers and makes one glad will come when the human family recognizes that we
all belong to each other and our destinies are inextricably linked. Amen. Come,
Lord Jesus.
