At what point in history would the following quote make sense? “Our world is a mess. The violence and hatred have become out of control. We need to fight back against our enemies!” Would it be our world today? Or would it be the world Jesus lived in when He preached the Sermon on the Mount? Either answer would be correct! So Jesus’s words should make sense to both modern and ancient people. But both have struggled with Jesus’s words. And both have benefitted when they have taken Jesus’s words seriously and made them a part of their lives. The specific words are, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
This Sunday we will work through this verse together. Jesus’s words are just as true in 2025 as they were in the first century. May we trust in the words of Jesus even when they are challenging in our present world. Come and hear God’s Word in Jesus’s sermon this Sunday!
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” - Matthew 5:9
