Jesus: "The story of Jesus in its entirety spans 2,020 years of human history that binds together all the world's righteousness, honor, courage, love, loyalty, confidence, determination, genius, humility, and a host of other attributes that have challenged men and women throughout the ages who have followed this leader who has liberated the world and set our path on the higher ground of the Kingdom of God. This story told throughout the pages of jesuscalltofreedom.com explains the history of man from God's perspective with revelation and interpretation that only Jesus can provide in ways that bring light and understanding to people of any religion or no religion with clarity for all who seek to know."
This website can be understood better when viewed as a body with a head who is Jesus and with a body who is the growing number of believers and those who are people who are not against us so are for us meaning they believe in much of what we believe while their larger belief system may not include believing that Jesus has been given headship authority by Jehovah and that Jehovah is even God or their God and this is why Jehovah who sees the heart and the inside of every person knows who these are and who these are not and no man can determine this. The above section is all about the headship of Jesus in the entire world and about his mission to eradicate evil from this planet and this race of human beings so that we are all free to grow in goodness and not evil.

Jehovah: "America is in crisis and I have asked a trusted human being to give me an honest assessment of the crisis and the remedy for the crisis and it has been submitted to me and can be viewed at Opinion For Divine Court."
This is Jehovah's view of his part in the story of our human race and its unintended development and the resulting danger which mankind is currently dealing with and God is intervening to show mankind how to safely navigate the storms that are breaking upon our people and this view of God's salvation plan has been obscured by every false teaching and all the confusion that comes with that.
Jehovah Will Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us
When Jehovah Carries His Carrier
The following is Jehovah's Song which is a contemporary secular song that very closely explains what God is all about.
"You have
reached that moment of decision when you know that you must move forward one
way or another and the way you have chosen is to go forward with Jesus into the
next phase of your life which will be a supernatural and exquisitely beautiful
experience of life that will flow forward forever and you will always love this
life as you have known it as you will always love your life as it is becoming
more truly who you really are and the twisted future that isn't right will now
not be and just as I have told you I am bringing the real you to the light as
you fulfill your destiny. You have found your cure within yourself. You are now free Kathy."
Lord, I remember when you gave this song to me and I knew it was a very profound message for me but at the time I was having terrible problems in my family due to complications of a birth in the family and God told me to say certain things at that time that made matters worse and not better and he told me how sorry he was that he caused me such grief and sorry that ensued and is still unresolved to this day. You gave me this this song at that time and for over four years you have been untangling my twisted future and I have been trusting you to make things right that have gone terribly wrong. Through this time you showed me how genetics have become so tangled up that it is nearly impossible to repair anything that concerns the human race and yet you have done just that with me and I remember when we started untangling all kinds of tangled up messes concerning cellular diseases and emotional entanglements that further complicated the physical problem within the Dna itself. Slowly but surely you taught me all sorts of things regarding genetics and epigenetics which is the God layer of human genetics and then taught me how to pray to untangle so many things that would have remained that way forever or until our race died out completely. When you first gave me this song I remember being somewhat confused if the words were for me or if the words were for my family situation but it never occurred to me that the words were meant for all of humanity as we know it here on earth.

This is the actual legend with a running commentary by me. There are some interesting parallels with some New Testament themes. I'm not saying it was Jesus here, just gives rise to some interesting ideas.
Jesus: "This man the Peacemaker was not me but he was an angel Father and I sent to bring a message of peace before their entire civilization was destroyed. Just as angels were sent to Abraham so angels have been sent at different times throughout history."
The Teachings of Jesus
Blessed Are the
Peacemakers
Matthew 5:9
Introduction
Can you imagine
telling someone like Peter, James or John "blessed are the peacemakers"? They
would probably just stare at you in unbelief. Many people think the only way
to have peace is to eliminate all your enemies. Their motto might well be
"Fight to win!‖
History is chocked
full of angry disputes. Cruel inquisitions, crusades to overthrow rival
kingdoms, and demonstrations of military might all in the name of God. In
fact, there are still some believers of
various denominational affiliations who love to dispute doctrine and argue
causes in an effort to narrow and fragment the body of Christ. On the other
hand, some people
consider peace at any cost the ultimate achievement. They are prepared and
determined to have peace at any price. If a leader should suddenly appear on
the world scene offering a guarantee of peace he would have all of these peace
seekers bowing at his feet.
But God is not so much concerned with the act of peace as with the attitude of peace. Being a peacemaker is more than someone who goes around patching up differences. Peace is more than the absence of conflict. The kind of peacemaking Jesus describes in the blessings of Matthew Chapter 5 is the kind of peace that is the outcome of a love expressed to others in good will and genuine kindness. So before we begin this lesson on peacemaking let’s read the Beatitudes once again from Matthew Chapter 5.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you
when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil
against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward
in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before
you.
It’s always easier
to define peace than it is to practice it. I’ve heard people say, I love my
church it’s just some of the members I have trouble with. I love my family
it’s just my brother I can’t stand! I love my job it’s just some of my
co-workers that irritate me. All relationships are an exercise in problem
solving! Even the best of people have either abused or have offended their
friends.
Jesus is the perfect example of character and conduct and is often referred to as the Prince of Peace. Yet he was criticized, rebuked and reviled by his contemporaries. Their hatred of Him grew so strong they finally had Him crucified. So if Jesus is the Prince of Peace what are the essential qualities of a peacemaker?
I. The Peacemakers
Our world today is not a place of peace and tranquility. Evil In the world is becoming increasingly aggressive and hostile. In John 15:18 Jesus warns us about this, If the world hates you, know that it hated me before it hated you.
The greatest
challenge for the peacemaker is to reflect the nature of God in an environment
dominated by evil. This would really qualify as a mission of peace. Jesus’
definition of a peacemaker is not a reference to a diplomat who sits at a
conference negotiating settlements among nations. While that may be an
honorable and needed profession, Jesus applies his blessing to common people
who listened to him as he taught on the hillside. His message of peace was for all people but
primarily for each person. The peacemaker is one who has already seen the
barriers between him and God disappear.
The peacemaker knows what it is: · to be spiritually destitute (poor in spirit)
The peacemaker is an ambassador of Christ’s kingdom not an ambassador of some human government. God’s peacemakers are not peace negotiators. If that is what Jesus meant, He himself failed to fulfill it. Neither is a peacemaker one who refrains from taking sides. Jesus has not called us to remain neutral or passive. Edmund Burke wrote, All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." One of the great dangers in our society comes from those who imagine they can best serve by never taking a clear stand on anything. If a peacemaker is one who never takes sides then Jesus failed miserably at it. He was the most controversial figure of His time.
A chameleon-like
person can’t be a peacemaker. James 1:18 says a double-minded man is unstable
in all his ways. You can’t be for all sides of an issue or pick your position
based upon the group you’re with. That does not fit Christ’s pattern of
peacemaking.
A peacemaker is
not a compromiser. A compromiser might say, "If you give up something, I’ll
give up something."‖ While compromising may be a great solution for many
situations there are times when it is terribly wrong and even immoral. A
peacemaker is someone who has ended all conflict with God and has accepted His
Word as absolute truth. You can’t make peace unless you are at peace. The
peacemaker has identified and accepted the terms of peace by surrendering
unconditionally to Jesus the Prince of Peace. Like Jesus, this makes the
peacemaker willing to confront evil and conquer it. 1 John 3:8 says, For this
purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the
devil. Jesus didn’t come to teach people how to get along with the Devil; he came to
show us how to claim victory over the Devil. Paul told the Colossian believers
in verse 21 of Chapter 1, "Once you were alienated from God and were
enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled
you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight,
without blemish and free from accusation — if you continue in your faith,
established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel. This is
the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under
heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant."‖
A peacemaker
follows the example of Christ. He did not make peace with the world – he made
peace with His Father. In Matthew 10:34 Jesus said, "Do not suppose that
I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a
sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against
her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law — a man's enemies
will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves his father or
mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and
follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and
whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
The peacemaker is one who brings people into a peaceful relationship with God. The writer of the Proverbs says things like:
This is the nature
of evil.
But the nature of the peacemaker is:
The peacemaker
Jesus is referring to is one that maintains an attitude of quietness and
confidence in the face of angry attacks. The peacemaker will endure
humiliation and even angry assaults. Peacemakers do not retaliate against evil
with evil.
Jesus is the model
peacemaker. He did nothing to invoke the abuse and hostility aimed at him. His
accusers crucified Him to appease their own hatred. Yet in the greatest
moments of His persecution a tough Roman Centurion could look upon His beaten
and battered body and exclaim, "Truly this man was the Son of God."‖
Though He was reviled, he did not revile in return. And though he was falsely
accused He did not react with flaming anger. Even at His crucifixion, Jesus
knew their sin and selfishness and the immenseness of their evil. Yet he
pleads with the Father, "Forgive them, for they know not what they
do."
This is the true
pathway to peace.
II. The Sons of God
When Jesus says,
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of
God," he does not tell us how to become a son of God. He simply says that
sons of God are in fact peacemakers. People who become peacemakers will be
recognized as the children of God at the judgment and welcomed into the
Father's house. John 1:12 says, "To all who received him (Jesus), and
believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God." Galatians 3:26 says, "For in Christ we
are all sons of God through faith." In other words, we become the
children of God by trusting in Christ for our forgiveness and hope.
The children of
God have the character of their Father. And we know from Scripture that our
heavenly Father is a "God of peace". We know that heaven is a place
of peace. And most important of all, we know that God is a peacemaker! 2
Corinthians 5:19 says, "God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself,
not counting their trespasses against them". Colossians 1:20 says,
"He made peace by the blood of the cross". In other words, even
though by nature we are rebels against God and have committed high treason and
are worthy to be eternally banned from God’s presence, nevertheless God has
sacrificed his own Son and now declares that anyone who wants to can come home
through faith in Christ.
The whole history of redemption is God's plan to bring about a just and lasting peace between us and God. As God's children, we should be that way, too. We should demonstrate the character of our Father. What he loves we love. What he pursues we pursue. As his children we are willing to make sacrifices for peace the way God did. Paul says in Galatians 4:6, "Since we are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, 'Abba! Father!" ‖ And in Romans 8:14, "All who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God."
Being led by the Spirit includes bearing the fruit of the Spirit. And the fruit of the Spirit is peace! Our whole salvation is a work of grace. The blessing of peacemaking lies in our hope and joy and freedom through Christ.
III. The Blessing of Peacemaking
Many of the letters of the New Testament begin with the blessing of peace. "Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ",‖ writes Saint Paul to the young church in Corinth. (1 Cor 1:3) Addressing the Christians in Rome, he reminds them "how beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace".‖ (Rom 10:15) Writing to the Ephesians, he tells them peace is Christ himself: "For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of enmity".‖ (Eph 2:14) He teaches the Colossians that Christ "has reconciled all things to himself, having made peace through the blood of the Cross".‖ (Col 1:20)
Peace is not a
principle, theory, concept, political program or social ideal. Peace is an
attribute of God. It is Jesus who heals and forgives, and reaches out to the
very people the world tells us we should avoid, condemn, hate and possibly
even kill.
Among the things
that Jesus did not say in the Sermon on the Mount is, "Blessed are those
who prefer peace, wish for peace, await peace, love peace, or praise
peace".‖ He blesses the makers of peace. He requires us to take an active
role in peacemaking rather than passive one. In fact, peace can appear to be
anything but peaceful from the point of view of those who believe peace is
simply the absence of conflict.
Probably no
believer has been more identified with the beatitude of peacemaking than Francis of Assisi. After
his conversion and while he was still a prisoner, he had only one ambition: to
live according to the Gospel. He took this to mean a life without money,
wearing the same rags beggars wore, and owning nothing that might stir up the
envy of others thus give rise to violence. He wanted to be one of the least,
rather than a great man. His now famous prayer is about the blessing of peace.
Lord, make me an
instrument of your peace,
Where there is
hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is
injury, pardon;
Where there is
doubt, faith;
Where there is
despair, hope;
Where there is
darkness, light;
Where there is
sadness, joy;
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood
as to understand;
To be loved as to
love;
For it is in
giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning
that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life.
That prayer truly expresses the blessing of the peacemakers
Conclusion
As followers of Jesus we have been called to peace. When he called us we found peace because Jesus is our peace.But now we are told we must make peace which requires us to renounce our desire for any violent retaliation.
John Stott writes
in The Message of the Sermon on and God is the author of peace and of
reconciliation. ... It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the particular
blessing which attaches to peacemakers is that "they shall be called sons
of God." For they are seeking to do what their Father has done,
loving people with his love.
Being a peacemaker
is part of surrendering to God. Only God can bring about a lasting peace. We
must abandon all efforts to satisfy our own vengeance through the destruction
of our enemies. God comes to us in Christ to make peace with us; and when we
accept God's grace it is our responsibility in Christ to go to our enemies to
make peace.
Jim Forest writes
in his book, The Ladder of the Beatitudes, "No one has ever been
converted by violence."
In an article
called ―Cold Turkey‖ Kurt Vonnegut writes, "Many Christians demand that
the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. ... I haven't heard one of
them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.
"Blessed are the merciful" in a courtroom? "Blessed are the
peacemakers" in the Pentagon?"
Making peace makes
us God's children — which means we are related to each other as family.
Peacemakers actively work to bring about a spiritual wholeness and healing
between those who are sinners and God by introducing them to Jesus.
Peacemaking
requires time and effort. We must pursue and produce it. God approves and
blesses the peacemakers.
Paul concludes his letter to the Thessalonians by saying, "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways." That is the very best blessing for those who want to be called the children of God.
