UNDERSTANDING LEADS TO PEACE

Printed Passage:  Isaiah 2:2-4; Acts 17:26-28

Key Verse:  And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the  mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2:3, NRSVue)

Think About It:
What actions can believers undertake us to "be the change" that will positively impact peach and increase the likelihood of world peace?

Printed Passage:  Isaiah 2:2-4; Acts 17:26-28
Isaiah 2:2-4
² In days to come the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest of the mountains and shall be raised above the hills; all the nations shall stream to it.
³  Many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth instruction and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
⁴ He shall judge between the nations and shall arbitrate for many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation; neither shall they learn war any more.

 Acts 17:26-28
²⁶ From one ancestor he made all peoples to inhabit the whole earth, and he allotted the times of their existence and the boundaries of the places where they would live, 
²⁷ so that they would search for God and perhaps fumble about for him and find him—though indeed he is not far from each one of us. 
²⁸ For ‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we, too, are his offspring.’
