“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” Matthew 5:9
A peacemaker is a person who pursues peace at all times. When the fellow is offended, his response to the offender is to ensure that peace reigns.
God loves peacemakers, Jesus specifically said that they will be called the children of God. Of course, they will be called the children of God because Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace.
Many times, we want to make peace, but we don’t want to be seen as weaklings. It takes strength to control one’s ego, anger and work towards peace. Hence, it is a wise person that will seek peace.
Whenever you’re tempted to fight, remember that unbelievers don’t read the Bible, hence it is we the Christians that model Christ to them.
Hebrews 12:14 says: “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:”
Father, please help me to follow peace always IJN.
Shalom!
