"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God," Matthew 5:9.
So Jesus went around preaching the Good News: Repent! The kingdom of God's almost here! Jesus's Sermon on the Mount details what it means to repent. It means a foundational change from the world's shifting sands to the bedrock of God's kingdom: faith in Christ. Yeah. Engage the things of peace, not things of war and strife. Peacemakers (not the gun) receive adoption as God's own kids.
We get together with a brother or sister today in the peace of Christ that surpasses reason. And together we give thanks to God for his new treaty with us in the cross of Christ.
