| | Persecuted Peacemakers and Promises, Promises by Dick Woodward
Topic: Peacemakers
Scripture(s): Matthew 5:10 | | Description: There is a reason the beatitude about peacemakers is followed by a beatitude about persecution. Those who become ministers of reconciliation often suffer painful consequences because they have identified themselves with Jesus Christ. Being a peacemaker may put Jesus disciples in the middle of dangerous fighting. Sometimes they even lose their lives. The disciple who has thebeautiful attitudes confronts people with a model of what they should be. When people in theworld are confronted with a true disciple, they can acknowledge that this is how they should live, or they can attack the disciple who is like Jesus. Very often, they do the latter.
