Blessed Are the Peacemakers


“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

— Matthew 5:9


The word translated peacemakers comes from the Greek eirēnopoioi (εἰρηνοποιοί)

a word that does not describe people who simply enjoy peace or avoid conflict.


It describes people who make peace.


This word is built on the Greek term for peace, eirēnē (εἰρήνη)—a peace that echoes the older biblical vision of shalom: not just the absence of violence, but wholeness, restoration, and shared well-being.


To be a peacemaker, then, is to work toward conditions where life can flourish—

especially for those most exposed to harm, neglect, or injustice.


God is not neutral about human suffering.

God is deeply concerned with humanity’s well-being—particularly the most vulnerable.


And those who share that concern, who labor for healing rather than domination,

for justice rather than convenience,

are called children of God—because they reflect God’s own heart.


Peacemaking is not passive.

It is love, practiced publicly.

This is 60 Seconds of Hope.

Peace be with you.
