Making Peace

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they called be called sons of God." Matthew 5:9 (NKJV)

It has always been said that you are your father's child. This statement could not be more true than right now.
Who are the peacemakers? Maybe they are two-fold. Those who first make peace with God, for those are the only one's who have the ability to be called a son of God. There are many different charitable groups who want world peace, but they want nothing to do with God.
Then there are those who have made their peace with God and can now operate on a worldly level to bring peace to others. I a not talking about making friends, or holding hands or singing Kumbaya. I am talking about leading those lost souls of a lost world into the eternal rest of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
You are your Father's son. As your Father does, so you must do as well. His desire is for all to come to Christ:
"For God so loved the world, the He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16, 17 (NKJV)

"Never let us be peacebreakers; evermore let us be peacemakers." (Spugeon)
