Peace Child

“We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1).

How vital it is to have peace with God!

Some time ago I read a book entitled Peace Child. In the book the author, Don Richardson, gives a moving account of how the Sawi people of Irian Jaya came to understand the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.

For many months he and his family tried to find some way to communicate the gospel to this tribe in a way that they would understand. Then they discovered the key for which they had been praying.

All demonstrations of kindness expressed by the Sawi were regarded with suspicion except one act. If a father gave his own son to his enemy, his sacrificial deed showed that he could be trusted. Furthermore, everyone who touched that child was brought into friendly relationship with the father. The Sawi were then taught that in a similar way God’s beloved Son could bring them eternal peace. “For He is our peace” (Ephesians 2:14).
