“May grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.” (v. 2)
If you are offered more peace and more grace, are you interested? If you could see grace and peace multiplied in your life, would you desire that? If there were a sure-fire approach to exponential peace and exponential grace in your lived days, would you pursue it?
The apostle Peter, in this letter to the church, greets us with a hope of grace and peace multiplied.
Where do we find it?
In the knowledge of Christ.
Think of it this way: The more we know about Jesus, the greater our understanding of His grace and His peace. If you abide in His Word, you will continually experience the richness of His grace-gift, which is the heart of the Gospel. If you investigate and unfold and internalize the Good News—Jesus in our place!—you will continually experience the profundity of His peace. Every time you turn to Him in His Word, you discover grace after grace and peace after peace, multiplied to you in the knowledge of Christ.
The offer is there.
Will you take it up?
