The Sermon on the Mount by Carl Heinrich Bloch
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:9
We will first look at what the 1828 dictionary says:
************
Because I come from a background of people pleasing and where I thought I was a peacemaker(but was really having some unhealthy habits) I felt that it was better if I let this wonderful book help us understand what a peacemaker really is and what they will do. I hope you enjoy!
Christ is "the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6), and it is His mission to restore to earth and heaven the peace that sin has broken. "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1. Whoever consents to renounce sin and open his heart to the love of Christ, becomes a partaker of this heavenly peace.
There is no other ground of peace than this. The grace of Christ received into the heart, subdues enmity; it allays strife and fills the soul with love.pg. 27
The heart that is in harmony with God is a partaker of the peace of heaven and will diffuse its blessed influence on all around. The spirit of peace will rest like dew upon hearts weary and troubled with worldly strife. pg 27
Christ's followers are sent to the world with the message of peace. Whoever, by the quiet, unconscious influence of a holy life, shall reveal the love of Christ; whoever, by word or deed, shall lead another to renounce sin and yield his heart to God, is a peacemaker. pg. 28
