Our culture tends to attach more value to being an agitator, but Jesus said there is a blessing attached to being a peacemaker. The peace Jesus speaks about is not merely an absence of strife or keeping silent in the face of an accusation; it is actively engaging to bring goodwill. Jesus came to establish a covenant of peace—peace with God and peace with one another—and if we are going to find peace and unity and cooperation as a people, it will be around a biblical world view, not a political ideology. The Church of Jesus Christ is the greatest force for peace that has ever been unleashed in the world, says Pastor Allen Jackson, not because we are passive, but because we are advocates and ambassadors for a Kingdom whose principles transcend the temporary principles of this world.
