Scripture-Lesson from Matt.
5:1 - 12.
Rev. Keith Brown spoke on
the theme "Peacemakers."
When Christ was born, the
angels sang of peace, and
just before Christ died, He
promised peace to His
disciples.
"Christ is the great
Peacemaker" said Mr.
Brown. "By His death on the
Cross, He made peace
between God and all those
who will receive His gift of
peace with God,"
But He calls us to be
peacemakers too, We can do
this by refusing to quarrel
with those who stir up strife.
A quiet, kind word can avoid
a bitter dispute with the
violence and tragedy it so
often brings, Or we can
refuse to continue a quarrel,
and instead go and make
things right with the person
concerned,
Jesus also wants us to be
peacemakers in helping to
reconcile others. It is
possible to do thisonly when
we ouselves, have first come
to God for reconciliation, and
have let Him work in our
lives to make us humble and
merciful and pure in heart.
"Blessed are the
peacemakers, for they shall
be called the children of
God," said Jesus. The
promise of God's blessing
comes to all who do this
important work of
peacemaking in our needy
world. They will be
recognized as God's , true
children, and men also will
call them blessed.
Tonight, Wednesday , at
8:30 the Sr. Choir will
