(Matthew 5:43) "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you."
Carrying on from this week's posts on loving your enemies and praying for those who hurt us...
Promoting Peace: Jesus is beautifully referred to as the "Prince of Peace" in Isaiah 9:6, a title that encapsulates His mission to bring harmony and wholeness to a fractured world. Throughout His ministry, He encouraged His followers to embody this peace by becoming peacemakers, as highlighted in Matthew 5:9, where He declares, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Jesus actively worked towards reconciliation among individuals and communities, breaking down barriers and promoting understanding. His teachings and actions consistently emphasised the importance of love, forgiveness, and unity, inviting us to foster peace in our relationships and extend grace to those around us.
Through His actions and teachings, Jesus exemplified how to confront hatred with love, forgiveness, and a commitment to peace. Through His example, He inspires us to pursue peace not only in our hearts but also in the world, reminding us that true Peace comes only from Him - and is meant to be shared.

Let us pray, "Heavenly Father, help me to live at peace with others. I feel that You invite me to experience and share Your perfect peace. Please transform the ways I think and act. Make me eager to spread Your Peace instead of fear, and Your Love instead of hate." Amen!
