"Blessed are the peacemakers..." - Matthew 5:9


There is no way we could offer the peace of God without first experiencing it ourselves.  

Being a peacemaker is one who demonstrates the peace of God residing within the heart and from their outflow of love to others there may be reconciliation offered that others may find that same peace in any situation.

The life of Christ resides, and is lived out more fully within community and not in isolation.  

Each of us are called to be peacemakers, speaking to the impossible situations we encounter which have no hope of success on their own, God desires that we reach out to become the arbitrators of peace both spiritually and naturally that God may demonstrate His power over the forces which divide.

Jesus speaks that the peacemakers will be called the “sons of God”, which refers to mature manifested sons and daughters of God who know who they are in Christ, and can proclaim with surety and confidence what they have gained from their ongoing relationship with Jesus and speak (zoe) life to heal the divide and discord, and release peace.

We are the peacemakers, because Jesus is our peacemaker.
Be Blessed;
Stephen Barnett
