What does it really mean to be a peacemaker in a world full of conflict, polarization, and pain? In this powerful message from the final Beatitudes, we explore Jesus’ radical call to live as active agents of reconciliation—not as peacekeepers who avoid tension, but as courageous peacemakers who step into it.
Jesus’ words reveal that the truly blessed life—the “good life”—belongs to those who choose the costly path of mercy, justice, and truth. But that path isn’t easy. It invites misunderstanding, resistance, and sometimes persecution. Yet Jesus calls us to rejoice, reminding us that we’re not alone—we walk in the footsteps of the prophets and in the way of the cross.
In this sermon, you’ll hear:
• The difference between peacemaking and peacekeeping
• Stories of faithful peacemakers from Northern Ireland and Pakistan
• A personal reflection on Christian unity in the face of conflict
• Why persecution often follows faithful discipleship
• How the Beatitudes shape our public witness and spiritual resilience
Join us as we rediscover what it means to live the blessed life—not defined by comfort, but by courage, character, and Christlike love.
