Peacemakers

Tonight's Adult Bible study deals with the subject of Peacemakers from Matthew 5:9.
The idea of peace dominates the Bible. There are four hundred references to peace in the Bible. It opens with peace in the Garden of Eden and closes with peace in the new heavens and new earth. In fact, a study of redemptive history could be made from the standpoint of peace. Man’s sin interrupted our peace with God. At the cross, Christ became our peace. Because Jesus has provided peace, there can be peace in the heart of one who comes to know Him. One day, Jesus will come again and will establish an eternal kingdom of peace.
