We often experience the tendency to default to passively "keep the peace" instead of engaging in intentional peacemaking. Jesus is the ultimate example of an active peacemaker who shows us how to be people of shalom peace who embody God's healing and wholeness in every aspect of what it means to be human: the relationship between humanity and God, the relationships with our fellow humans and our relationship with creation itself. Jesus commissions us to join him in the greatest peacemaking mission this world has ever known.
