Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. Nov 26, 2000. In a world of war, we admire those we see as peacemakers.
Peace is something the whole world yearns for.
And ironically, there is perhaps no place on earth more desperately in need of peace at the moment than Jerusalem, the very city of peace itself. The Maranatha Christian Journal reported this week on the many pilgrims who travel there every year for the city's Christmas celebration. In the city of peace, the millennial celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace has been cancelled because of war. Surely nothing highlights more poignantly than that the desperate need of humanity for peace and peacemakers. I came up with some interesting results.
