Message in Brief

In this daily message, Pastor Ratna Maitra reflects on Matthew 5:9, which declares that peacemakers are blessed and will be called sons of God. She explains that Jesus Christ reconciled us to God through His sacrifice on the cross, giving us true peace. As His followers, believers are called to actively make peace in their relationships—within families, churches, and communities—rather than merely wishing for it. By overcoming self-centeredness, anger, and envy, and by focusing on forgiveness, love, and helping others, believers reflect Christ's character and bring God's peace to those experiencing unrest and conflict.
