QUANTUM LIVING FOR THE PEACE MAKERS (8 of 9)
QUANTUM LIVING
(Exploring What Jesus Taught About Life In The
Beatitudes)
Rick Ferguson
Matthew 5:9
"Blessed are the PEACEMAKERS, for they shall be called
the sons of God"
Introduction: If you had the power to end all
international and interpersonal conflicts and wars for
just one day, would you do it?
Sure you would. It's a no-brainer. If given the power

This is not because some sincere men have not tried to
broker peace.
EX. I heard of a man in Santa Domingo who was so
passionate about ending the war and bloodshed in his
country that he staged a protest.
His plan was to allow himself to be nailed to a cross
and left there for forty-eight hours as a way to
demonstrate for peace in his country.
The man's name was Patrice Tomao.
Unfortunately he had to be taken off the cross after
twenty hours because infection ...
