the process of becoming a peacemaker
![Page 23: What does Jesus think about peacemaking? Matthew 5:9 “Joyful are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bae18e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The beginning of being a peacemaker is to have a peace in your own heart between you and God.
![Page 24: What does Jesus think about peacemaking? Matthew 5:9 “Joyful are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bae18e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Peacemakers then can make peace between themselves
and other people.
![Page 25: What does Jesus think about peacemaking? Matthew 5:9 “Joyful are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ea95503460f94bae18e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
