The Beatitudes: Blessed are the Peacemakers

Jun 15, 2025    Pastor David Engelhardt

Pastor David Engelhardt unpacks the seventh Beatitude—“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” He explains that peacemaking is not passive but deeply spiritual, requiring both the courage to engage in conflict and the wisdom to do so from a pure heart. Drawing from Isaiah 2, Daniel 2, and Matthew 5, Pastor David highlights that God’s kingdom is not retreating, but expanding with power and peace through His people. The true peacemaker, like Christ, knows when to confront and when to be gentle. This message challenges believers to pursue peace through purity, the Spirit’s leading, and the Word of God—not political zeal or personal pride. Jesus, the ultimate peacemaker, brings peace through sacrifice, and it is only by His righteousness that we are reconciled to God.
