1 Peter 5:14
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ.
Matthew 5:23-24
"If you are offering your gift at the altar, and
there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave
your gift there before the altar and go, first be reconciled to your brother or
sister,
and then come and offer your gift."
Passing
the Peace is the enacting of these verses and a liturgical celebration of the true
reconciliation with one another that is available only through God in Christ. The Lord exhorts us to be reconciled, not only
with Him (Confession and Absolution), but also with one another (Passing the
Peace), before we approach the Lord’s Table.
