" Blessed [are] the peace-makers, for they shall be called sons of God." - Matt. 5:9 William Hendriksen has my vote in understanding this text rightly when he writes: A blessing is here pronounced on all who, having themselves received reconciliation with God through the cross, now strive by their message and their conduct to be instrumental in imparting the same gift to others By word and example such peace-makers, who love God, one another, and even their enemies, promote peace also among men....
True peace-makers are all those whose Leader is the God of peace (1Cor 14:33 Eph 6:15 1Thess 5:23), who aspire after peace with all men (Rom 12:18 Heb 12:14), proclaim the gospel of peace (Eph 6:15), and pattern their lives after the Prince of Peace (Lk 19:10; Jh 13:12-15; cf. Matt 10:8)....
This, moreover, is not a peace at any price. It is not brought about by compromise with the truth, under the guise of "love"(?). On the contrary, it is a peace dear to the hearts of all who speak the truth in love (Eph 4:15).
