When commenting on the impact of the Beatitudes, one Bible student had this to say, "The Beatitudes are like long spikes holding down the lid of the coffin on the false teaching that says if you just believe in Jesus, then you will go to heaven — whether or not you are merciful, or pure in heart, or a peacemaker. From beginning to end, the Sermon on the Mount cries out, “Get yourself a new heart! Become a new person!" (John Piper, Desiring God Website)"
One of the ways a new heart expresses itself is in the area of conflict resolution. Jesus called it peacemaking - not peacekeeping, but peacemaking. There is a big difference and today we turn our attention back to the subject of making peace among Christians.
Matthew 5:9
