Being a Peacemaker
Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:3
Scripture reading: Matthew 5:9, 17–24
Of all the things God intends for us to be, He intends for us to be peacemakers. There is no place better in Scripture to help me make this point any better than Matthew 5:23–24:
Most Christians are satisfied with the first meaning of this passage, but the second meaning is deeper. Most people believe it is perfectly right, if you have offended another, to go to that person and say, “Please forgive me,” and you win your brother when you take that part. But this is the deeper sense: “If you...remember that your brother has something against you,” go and forgive him his transgressions. It is so much deeper than getting your own side right to go and get his side right by forgiving him of all that he has done. Amen
