The Peacemakers
Peace is not something we think much about, that is until we don't have it. Then it becomes the thing we want and need most of all.
Turmoil, discord, frustration—all negative states. Attacks, wounding, silence—just some of the results.
Sometimes it's up to us to enter in and arbitrate in the lives of others. If it's successful we will be credited. But it's a risk.
Sometimes the lack of peace is within ourselves. The book of James calls it "the battle within."
It's peace with God that we need first of all. Who brings that to us but the Lord Jesus Christ? He is the great arbitrator between God and man. He is the man of peace. He is the Son of God.
When we also take on that role, we are also called God's sons.
About this Plan
The Beatitudes is the title tradition has given to this most succinct series of blessings that came from the mouth of Jesus. They are the opening summary of "The Sermon on the Mount," found in Matthew 5 through 7, the most famous sermon of all time. Here are the Beatitudes illustrated in paint, with accompanying meditations.
