In the last beatitude we discovered that God empowers those who are born again to become powerful peacemakers. We discussed how Jesus, the Prince of Peace, purchased our redemption and by appropriating His gift of salvation we are empowered to become peacemakers. The Gospel is our peacemaking tool ot reconcile humanity to God. And so we end this BE-Attitude series with Jesus amazing promise to us about great hope we may possess while we travel this great adventure called “life.” Though it be filled with trials and hardship, we as children of God, are given an immense opportunity. Our pain is not wasted. Because of Jesus, we have the opportunity to face hardship with the greatest hope—our pain can catapult our life into an extraordinary purpose.
