Introduction:
My name is Adam, I’m the pastor here at Abide church.
I’m also a professor at CBC.
I teach Accounting and Economics courses.
Before we talk about this passage we need to talk about Peace:
Peace
Our world is in constant tension, constant strive, constant conflict...
Political, social, economic, interpersonal, all around us we see the opposite of “peace”
Skipping down...
Skipping down...
Man broke his relationship with God.
We are at enmity with God.
We are at war with God.
We are enemies of God.
Isn’t it extreme to call Adam “wicked” for eating a piece of fruit?
It wasn’t about the fruit, it was about living in submission to and under the blessing of God
Who gets to define “wicked” - GOD
Peace did not come with no cost.
Reconciliation came at a price.
Christmas is coming - Peace on earth!
Blessed are the peacemakers:

The Meaning
If you are in Christ, you are a messenger of peace.
You are a peacemaker.
Reminder:
Blessed = happy, fortunate, flourishing
The Location
v 5 = blessed are the meek
v 9 = blessed are the peacemakers
Those who are meek bring peace
Meekness is a turning over of your right to fight and trusting God to fight for you.
The meek are gentle because they don’t have to fight for position; the meek receive their position confidently from God.
This beatitude is towards the end of the list
Happy are the evangelistic,
When it flows out of knowing God
The Achieving
Being a peacemaker flows out of having peace from God
As we understand what we’ve been freely given, we naturally and freely give it to others
