[Jesus says to the twelve men he commissions,] "As you enter the home, give it your greeting. If the home is deserving, let you peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. (Matthew 9:12-13)
Jesus values peace. He expects the twelve to carry their peace from place to place and to share peace with others. And he assures them that peace is in no way wasted. If a home refuses to receive peace, then peace returns to the one who offers it. The return of peace is permissible; the twelve are instructed to let their peace return to themselves whenever the return is warranted.
I want the sanctuary of my soul to be filled by the Prince of Peace.
