A better covenant of peace

In Genesis 31 Laban proposed to enter into a covenant of peace with Jacob. This covenant was highly flawed, but we are directed to see that God has an infinitely greater covenant of peace. Those sinners who are brought under the terms of that covenant know true peace.

1. Christ's peace was accomplished at great cost
2. Christ's peace brings communion not separation
3. Christ's peace brings assurance of God's protective care
