B-Attitudes (The Beatitudes 8)

Would you consider yourself a peacemaker?  To help answer that question, we may want to recall how we react when situations arise in our life.  

It’s very interesting that when I looked up the definition of a peacemaker, it said this:  A person who brings about peace, especially by reconciling adversaries.  Then it listed some synonyms, which are:  Intercessor, go-between, intermediary, reconciler, and more.  

Saying all of this leads us to the next Beatitude.  

Being a peacemaker is much more than bringing peace.  It is one who goes between two parties who are needing to be reconciled.  

I never thought of praying for someone in this way would fall under the category of a peacemaker.  

We are told, “Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.”  James 3: 18   Peacemakers raise a harvest and a sure reward.  

In our life’s journey, “Let us, therefore, make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”  Romans 14: 19  

We’ve been instructed even further by remembering the words of Jesus when He said, “…I tell you:  “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.”  Matthew 5: 44  

The titles “son of God” and “son of man” go much deeper than we can define.
