Children of Peace: Matthew 5:9

Peacemakers make peace because they have had the peace of Christ established in the deepest recesses of their hearts. I would refer to this as “inner-peace”, but the term carries some baggage that doesn’t have Biblical ground. So, I think it is simpler to refer to it as “inward-peace” or “spiritual peace”. When Christians refer to inward-peace, we are not speaking about simply “investigating a matter with a calm and unbiased mind so that we can come to terms and accept specific outcomes” (the Buddhist view). We are talking about being made whole and set right with God and others.

In this lesson, we're going to look at what it means to be peacemakers.
