Blessed Are The Peacemakers

In this insightful episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett explores the profound meaning behind Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” What does it truly mean to be a peacemaker? Is it about enforcing peace through strength, or is there a deeper, more Christlike approach?

Ben discusses the distinction between peacekeepers and peacemakers, emphasizing the role of diplomacy and reconciliation. Drawing from Scripture, including Proverbs and the example of John the Baptist, he highlights how fostering peace mirrors the character of Christ, the ultimate peacemaker. This episode also reminds us that true peace is not mere capitulation; sometimes reconciliation requires addressing offenses.

As Christians, we are called to reflect our Savior, the Prince of Peace, in how we mediate and bring calm to a divided world. Join us as we examine this crucial Beatitude and the calling to reflect God’s nature through peacemaking.
