“Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they shall be called sons of God.”
-MATTHEW 5:9
Peacemakers
are simply agents of Grace, showing people the way to the Prince of
Peace. Peacemakers are ambassadors sent to represent the
King and His Kingdom.
What
is the message? It is the message of reconciliation, the message that
all is forgiven, the message of hope, and love, and grace, and a
thousand other good things (see 2 Corinthians 5:17-21). It is the most
awe-inspiring mission a human being could ever have: to represent Heaven
in the midst of Hell; Light in the midst of Darkness; Liberty in the
midst of Bondage; to proclaim the preeminence and Lordship of Jesus
when we do not yet see all things submitted to Him (Hebrews 2:8). And to
do all this in a way that does not drive people away or turn them off,
but causes them to fall in love with Him and make their peace with Him –
not through forced submission, manipulation, or fear – but willingly,
gladly.
