Children of Peace—Children of God

How can we be people of peace? What does being a peacemaker bring about in our lives?

As followers of Jesus we are called to be people of peace. We are to be peacemakers.

When we are people of peace we are blessed and the people around us are blessed and God considers us his children.

In the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:9, ESV).

May we be blessed children of God as we live out the peace of God as his peacemakers in this turbulent world.

A Collect for Peace: “O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
