Sunday morning: March 5th 2017 – 10.30 am. The eighth sermon in our series on the Sermon on the Mount giving further consideration to the beatitudes.

 

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. (Matthew 5:9)

 

The Christian working for peace

The reward = Called the children of God

 

The Christian has many qualities and traits that are imitated from the perfect example set by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. The seventh beatitude exalts the pressing need for Christians to be workers of peace. Being a peacemaker implies resolute action from the heart, that produces good works of peace in our relationships and connections throughout everyday life. As we walk through the challenges and moments of conflict that arise in all of our lives, we can rest assured in the blessed hope that if we strive and work for peace, We shall be called the Children of God.
