The Blessing of Peace

Leaving Egypt, Abram returns not only to the land promised to him, but specifically to the place where he had previously worshiped God. He fares much better in the subsequent challenge, succeeding in diffusing a conflict within his own family and restoring peace to all of them. Here we see how, as our exemplar of faith, Abram leads us back to the worship of God and to the power that such worship provides us to offer peace to our world.
