Mathew 5:9
Now, I want to focus on the
verse “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”◆When we confess and believe that Jesus Christ is the
Redeemer of our sins, we become children of God. Do you remember?That’s why we
have to be peacemakers because we are the children of God. Today, I believe
that we have special mission here at Beppu International Baptist Church.◆Currently, there are conflicts and terrors occurring
everywhere all around the world. There are many people who suffer from poverty.I
think it can be the first step to make peace, if, with merciful and meek hearts
we can build relationships together with people from other countries.Breaking
the walls, building bridges and peacemaking are indeed the things that the
world is looking for today. Here, we are like this, having a wonderful
relationship with each other. We have been given an environment where we can
send many people all over the world to spread the gospel from this church. ◆In The Tower of Babel, God judged humans’ pride and
haughtiness therefore God scattered people to different countries by confusing
their language. However, with gospel as the common “language”, God is using us
to make and realize peace. Are you following this calling, everyone? （Deacon Tetsuaki
