165 | Blessed Are The Peacemakers

In our discussion on the Beatitudes, particularly focusing on "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God," we explore what it means to be a peacemaker. We recognize that a peacemaker is someone who actively seeks peace in their relationships, both with others and with God. This involves maintaining harmony in our interactions and stepping in to resolve conflicts when necessary. We understand that as Christians, we are called to embody this role, reflecting the peace of Christ in our lives. We also acknowledge that peacemaking can be challenging, especially when it requires confronting sin or discomfort. Ultimately, being a peacemaker connects us to our identity as children of God, as we reflect His character and the cost associated with pursuing peace. We are encouraged to be slow to anger, quick to listen, and to seek understanding in our relationships, recognizing that true peace often requires effort and humility.
