On the night before the cross and again in the locked room after the resurrection, Jesus speaks the same word: “Peace”. The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace do not empower us to be passive, but they offer us stability in chaos. Jesus walks towards betrayal, suffering, and death without panic because His heart is anchored in His Father. Then Jesus sends His disciples out with that same peace. To armor up like Jesus means we carry a non-anxious presence in this anxiety fueled world. Fathers, mothers, leaders, friends, students, grandparents grounded in the Gospel of Peace that we swiftly carry it with us wherever these shoes carry us.
