The Beatitudes Part 13

INTRO: We have come to the seventh beatitude, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.' The central subject here is peace. And oh, how the world longs for peace and what a big subject it is.
The Jews expected the Messiah to come and bring about peace. The Muslims are waiting for the 12th Immam. When Ahmadinjajad was the president of Iran, he prayed like this: “O Mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the promised one, that perfect human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace.”
