“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” – Matthew 5:9
We think of peacemakers as those as who try to get people to stop fighting.
But what if it is something else?
Scot McKnight tells us in his book One.Life
[P]eace is a result and not a goal.
Peace is the result of years in a good relationship. Marriages shaped by love result in peace. Instead of focusing on having a good marriage, a husband and a wife who focus on loving one another will have a marriage of peace.
Societies that are shaped by justice and love become societies marked by peace…
People who love find peace, whether they think about it or not.
Maybe being a peacemaker means choosing to do loving acts in an unloving situation. Maybe those are the ones who will be called the children of God
