Blessed ( Jude 3 )

'Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called sons of God',  (Matthew 5 v 9 )Last time we consider how God the peacemaker made it possible for humanity to know Him ,through Jesus dying on the cross.  Now let us consider what it means for those who are Christians to be  peacemakers,now of course it does not mean peace at any price,peace. Someone has said it is not appeasement ,it is Christians seeking to live at peace with our neighbours, our families, and especially in our churches.I know a brother who is dreadfully concerned about the leader of the church he attends,who would profess to be an evangelical but is not,what should he do?. Some have advised leaving,but he does not feel he can do this at this time. does he stir up animosity? . When the reformation came in ,Luther did not go along with those who  sought to overthrow those in authority. My friend wants to be a peacemaker,as all Gods children should be, may God help us all and grant unto  us the wisdom and the grace we need in every situation to be a peacemaker..
