In the raised bed I have an amazing crop of Mange Touts - also known as Snow Peas, or Sugar Snap. They are sweet and tasty,. When I was younger, I remember somebody telling me about the four sweet peas of Christianity.The "sweet Ps" of Christian faith - Peace,
Purpose, Power, and Pardon.
These concepts can be understood as the fruits
of faith, guiding believers in their daily lives.
Peace:The inner tranquillity that comes from knowing God's
love and forgiveness. It's a sense of calm and stability even amidst
life's challenges.
Purpose: Understanding God's plan for one's life and finding meaning in
following His will. Identifying one's
calling and living with a sense of direction.
Power: The strength and authority that Christians receive from God to live a
life of faith and witness. It's the ability to make a positive impact on
the world.
Pardon: This is the forgiveness of sins and the restoration of a relationship
with God through Jesus. To experience a fresh start and live with a clean
conscience
These four sweet Ps are not just abstract ideas, but tangible aspects of faith that
can be lived out in daily life. They offer guidance, hope, and strength as
Christians follow Jesus.
Maybe the presentation is contrived, but nevertheless a good thing to think about on a Sunday morning!
