Do you know someone who always seems to be trying to keep the peace, always trying to stop two others from arguing or fighting. They never seemed to want to take one side or the other, saying something like 'you are both right and you are both wrong'.
"Blessed are the peacemakers; for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9
'Peacemakers' are not just sitting on the fence. They are capable of making a decision, they have decided that we should all 'just get along' and love each other. The Bible teaches us that we should love our enemies. Peacemakers are just reminding us of that, trying to help us engage rational thought instead of letting our emotions cause us to fly off the handle.
They are at peace with God and their desire is to live in peace with all men and to have all men live in peace with each other. Romans 5:1 Their peace with Christ enables them to be ambassadors of God's message to a troubled world.
So, don't put down those who promote peace, they may be promoting God's message of love. You may not agree with either side, but fighting is not the answer.
