Most people would describe peace as the absence of conflict or a feeling of tranquility. But is that the kind of peace Jesus was talking about when he said, “Blessed are the peacemakers?” Do his followers make peace by causing people to feel calm or reducing disagreements? When you discover what biblical peace is, you may be surprised by what that means for your life and what it means to be a peacemaker.

Luke Delong | Matthew 5:9
