Episode 10: Advent Day 10 - Peacemakers #Advent #Christmas #Jesus #ChristianNerdScripture: Matthew 5:9 (NIV)
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Welcome back! In Matthew 5:9, Jesus says, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." Remember in Marvel's The Avengers when the heroes put aside their differences to work together for the greater good? They became peacemakers in a world under threat.
Being a peacemaker means actively seeking to resolve conflicts and bring harmony. It's not about avoiding issues but confronting them with love and wisdom. In our families, workplaces, and communities, we have opportunities to be peacemakers.
