2.10-Blessed are the peacemakers. Strong force is needed for peace at times.
2.10-
Peace. Shalom. To keep peace requires that some people are ready to protect the peace using powerful force. Back in the day of old western movies they called a sheriff’s pistol a peacemaker.
At a recent meeting of peacemakers, the West Freeway church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas a man brought a gun to shoot and kill the peacemakers. Five men had their own guns. He shot and killed one of the peacemakers while he was drawing his gun. Then a professional, well trained retired police officer, a security officer shot and killed the man who was trying to kill the peacemakers who had come to worship Jesus.
When there is strong laws to show they difference between good religion and bad religion then oppressive religion is limited, exposed and stopped. It demands the Lion of Judah and for 2020 He has roared through His bold disciples.
Micah 7.
6 For son treats father contemptuously,
Daughter rises up against her mother,
Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man’s enemies are the men of his own household.
Matthew 10.
34 “Do not think that I came to [ac]bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.
37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 He who has found his [ad]life will lose it, and he who has lost his [ae]life for My sake will find it.
