Blessed Are... (Week Number 7)
Matthew 5:9 (WEB)
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."
This brings to mind political leaders who try to make peace between two countries who are at war with each other.
They send messages to call for peace, to stop the loss of life. At times they will fly across to meet the leaders at war, in the hope that peace will arrive.
God Bless those peacemakers.

Acts 7:26 (ESV)
The next day he saw two of his own people fighting and he wanted to make peace. "You are brothers," he said, "Why are you fighting?"
Just as Moses did not like to see the two brothers fighting, we don't like to see our brothers and sisters hurting each other. Do we always try to make peace when we see this happen, or do we walk away? We could have a chance of restoring a precious relationship or friendship, if we calmly talk peace to them. It would be pleasing to God, and the people concerned would be grateful for the kindness shown to them.
☆☆☆ ☆☆☆ ☆☆ ☆
If there is any way of reconciling two or even more, we are expected to do so.
How I would love to hear a sermon on peacemaking.
2 Corinthians 13:11 (ESV)
Finally brothers rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.

2 Corinthians 5:18 (WEB)
But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation.
☆☆☆ ☆☆☆ ☆☆☆
We need to remember there is a ministry for reconciliation.
God Bless and may we all be at peace with each other. Peace brings happiness.
